Stupendous folk art carving is the type that stood in front of cigar stores at the turn of the century. Carved in the last several years by a South American Indian whose talent is obvious from the first glance. 1910s Boston Red Sox player is depicted in his prime when Babe Ruth held the pitcher's mound and World Series appearances in Boston were as common as lobster dinners. Superb coloring and detail don't shoot him as you can even see the whites of his eyes. Unprecedented quality and striking size, he is a full six feet tall! Perfect for indoors or even the front of your house, as he will weather beautifully.
