Wood-carving -- Appalachian Region, Southern

Woodwork -- Appalachian Region, Southern

These carved farm animals are a rarity among John C. Campbell Folk School carvings in that they are painted. Carvings sold through the school's woodcarving cooperative, known as the Brasstown Carvers, were typically farm animals that were carved, filed, and sanded to smooth finish. It is likely that these painted farm animals may have been a special order or a prototype, but it is not likely that they were a typical sales item. The carver(s) are unknown.
