Vintage Hand-Woven Straw Ox Figure – Folk Art Animal Sculpture

This hand-woven straw ox figure carries the quiet charm of folk traditions. Crafted from natural fibers and shaped entirely by hand, it reflects the rustic craftsmanship often found in agricultural communities where animals like the ox symbolized strength, labor, and seasonal cycles.

The form is simple but expressive, with bundled straw legs, curved horns, and a knotted tail. These pieces were often made as souvenirs, toys, or festive decorations.

One foot shows some wear—either flattened or missing a small bit of straw—but the ox still stands freely and remains structurally sound. Whether styled in a harvest display or tucked into a bookshelf vignette, this piece adds a layer of grounding and texture to any space.
