Folk Art Handcarved Male Black Americana Folk Art Hand Signed Carved Male Figure Folk art carving 11" tall of a man who's ethnicity is questionable. A Black American gentleman? A French soldier? Then again my "accordian player" at times seems like a kindly old gent perhaps playing on a street corner in an Italian neighborhood in New York. The detail of his body is roughly done, but very deep and textured, the detail in the face and the accordian is wonderful. The accordian actually swivels in his hands! His cap looks military or organizational, but his flashy scarf belies that idea. For all his fine qualities he does have awfully big nose and feet! SIGNED on the base, hand written in pencil. I think it reads "A J Truitt 1924" In ORIGINAL condition, the wood is wonderfull, and the "stories he could tell." folk art
