Vintage 1980's Folk Art Carved Wooden/Painted Cat Original Owner as-is

Description

Collect Folk Art or know someone who does?  Love cats (who doesn't!)? This very unusual charming carved and painted wooden Folk Art cat is a perfect addition to a collection or gift for a collector or cat lover.  The sweet face is primitively expressive and nicely detailed.  The cat is in a seated position and can be displayed that way, but it can also be hung on the wall with the hanger on back (see photos).  I actually think it may have been designed as a hook, but I have only displayed it seated.  Cat measures about 5 1/2  inches high, 4 1/2 inches from feet to tail and about 1 1/2 inches wide at base.   Note on as-is condition: there is some paint loss on the lower side (see photos).  Original owner.  Purchased in Lancaster County PA in the 1980's.  Part of a collection.  I have other Folk Art items listed on eBay.  Smoke free, pet free, perfume free environment.
