A Pair of Modernist Carved Ironwood Howling Coyote Sculptures - A pair of hand-carved animal sculptures depicting howling coyotes or wolves, crafted from dense, dark ironwood. The figures exhibit a minimalist, modernist aesthetic with elongated necks, stylized ears, and integrated bases. The wood features a natural dark grain with a polished, smooth finish. These carvings are characteristic of mid-20th-century Southwestern folk art, often associated with the Seri people of Mexico, though they bear no signatures or maker marks. The construction is solid wood with visible grain patterns and tool marks on the undersides of the bases. Larger figure: 7 inches (length) Base 3 inches Both sculptures are in excellent condition. There are no visible chips, cracks, or structural repairs. The polished surface remains consistent across both pieces with minimal signs of handling wear.
