Item Description
Mid-19th Century Folk Art Horn Carved Nun Figure
A rare and unusual example of a mid-19th Century hand carved folk art figure of a Nun. Made from the tip of a horn and with hand painted detail as shown. This unusual piece of folk art reminded us of something more sinister, due to the close resemblance to the character in the film called “The Nun”.
