This wood carving of a Sami mother and her two children was hand-carved in Finland. It will be on display in the new exhibit, Carved in Wood: Finnish Folk Art, opening on June 20th, at the Koskela House Finnish Museum in Brantwood, Wisconsin.

This old birch box made in Finland
Birch Box
is a new acquisition for the Koskela House Finnish Museum exhibit this summer: Carved in Wood: Finnish Folk Art. Notable is the extremely fine joinery technique. Not so notable is the painted decoration on the top of the box. Overall a very fine addition to the Finnish folk art collection at the museum.
Our next exhibit will be “Folk Art Wood Carvings”. I will have updates on date and exhibit information.
