Late 19th century rare and magnificent hand carved wood figure of the iconic Lady Liberty, with master craftsmanship of the head and body carved from a singular piece of white pine wood and showing fine detailing to her beautiful face and crown, her tabula ansata, the stipple carving on her torch and her braided and flowing hair falling over the graceful swags on her robe, all in as found old, dry and age cracked silver grey painted surface over an original gold gilt. With her imposing measurements of 100" high (8'4") x 40" overall wide x 22" overall deep, she is perhaps one of the most exceptional and greatest finds in American wood sculptural folk art to surface in recent years.
