Important Folk Art Carving - Lion Cub & Snake

Mansfield, PA
Circa: 1860-80
Size: 7 3/8" (w) x 6 1/2" x 2 1/2" (d)
A great compliment to the other Mansfield Carver Lion and Snake. This one of a lion cub's encounter with a snake. The carving here is just as dynamic and full of action.

When the two are together one can see that the other lion is carved from a full block, whereas here the lion cub is more slender and the carver used a base to support the two animals.
