Vintage hand-carved and hand-painted wooden surgeon figure, done in a charming primitive folk-art style. This whimsical carving features a masked surgeon in scrubs, standing on a carved wooden block base with great character and personality. The carving marks, exaggerated features, and hand-painted details give it that true folk-art charm.

This piece appears to date from around the 1970s, and the base is inscribed “Christmas 1975 From Cindy”, suggesting it was a handmade or gifted piece from that era. The surgeon originally held small accessories in his hands, but they are no longer present — still displays wonderfully.

Perfect for: • Doctor / surgeon office décor

• Medical memorabilia collectors

• Folk art and primitive wood carving lovers

• Quirky novelty or retirement gift


Approximate Size: (add height when measured — likely 8–10 inches tall)
