Folk Art Nude Sculpture (Abandoned)



Looks to me like a carver wore out...certainly that CAN'T be her hair?  Actually, what happened, I believe, is while carving the right arm,  a tool slipped, an arm was cracked and a project was abandoned.

  1. This reminds me of something an art history teacher mentioned in art college. It was in regards to the Venus de Milo. The statue was found and sold. Then a bit later the arms were actually found and the buyer was approached. The buyer didn't want them so they were tossed. Perhaps the buyer of this enticing piece said, "Nah. I'm good. Leave it like this. Im fond of blockheads."
