Description |
Painted carving of a two-horse team with a hay mower. The hay mower is painted red with brown wheels. The horses are white with black spots. The harness is made from white leather with some black paint on them. The collars on the horses are part of the necks of the horses but they are differentiated by being painted solid black. The driver is wearing a cap of red, a green shirt and tan pants. The driver's seat is suspended from the hay mower so it has a tendency to bounce when the carving is bumped. |
Provenance |
This folk art model was hand-carved and built by wood carver, Erskine Brown of Thornbury, Grey County. Gift of the artist. |
