Hand-Carved Folk Art Halloween Figurine

This item is a decorative folk art figurine depicting a witch-like character seated atop a bright orange jack-o'-lantern. The piece appears to be hand-carved or molded to resemble wood-carving, featuring a heavily textured, faceted surface that mimics chisel marks. The construction likely utilizes a cast resin or composite material designed to look like authentic folk-art wood carvings. The color palette includes a rich orange for the pumpkin, a pointed dark gray or charcoal hat with a distressed finish, and cream-colored garments with deep scoring to represent folds in fabric. A small green stem is visible atop the pumpkin next to the figure. The condition shows significant intentional distressing and patina to create an aged, rustic appearance; however, there are some visible paint chips and wear along the edges of the hat and base, common with vintage seasonal decor. There are no immediate visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided angle. The style is characteristic of late 20th-century American folk art reproductions, likely dating from the 1990s to the early 2000s. The craftsmanship highlights a primitive aesthetic with deliberate asymmetry and organic shapes, popular in country-style home decor.
