Bidspirit auction | Set 7 Ironwood Animal Figurines

Set 7 Ironwood Animal Figurines - This collection consists of seven hand-carved animal figurines rendered in desert ironwood (Olneya tesota). The pieces display a modernist aesthetic characterized by smooth, flowing silhouettes and a polished finish that emphasizes the naturally dark, dense grain of the wood. The group includes a howling coyote, a perched bird of prey, a roadrunner with an elongated tail and crest, a long-necked wading bird, and three duck decoys in graduated sizes. This style of wood carving is typical of the Sonoran Desert region of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico, and is frequently attributed to Seri (Comcaac) artisans. No maker marks, artist signatures, or labels are present on any of the figures.
