This is a wonderful American Folk Art wood carving of two boxers, probably from the 1930's era. One boxer is African American and the other is painted in a blood red. The sculpture appears to have been carved from one piece of wood, and the two figures are wearing boxing gloves and footwear from that time period. They are pugilists in the true sense of the word. The carving retains most of its original paint, with light rubbing here and there, and condition is commensurate with age. The base seems to have split and had repair work done to it at one time, but this does not detract from the images of the boxers. The carving stands 29 1/4 in. high, including the base, and the base is 9 1/4 in. wide x 10 in. deep. The pugilists stand 24 1/8 in. high on their own.
