Vintage Raymond Pelton "Limb Box" Puzzle - 1982 Hand-Carved Folk Art. A rare and highly tactile example of American folk craftsmanship, this original Raymond Pelton Limb Box (1982) is hand-carved from a natural tree limb, preserving the organic bark exterior while revealing a cleverly constructed internal puzzle mechanism. Hand-carved natural limb / burl wood (likely birch or similar hardwood). Each piece by Pelton is unique, and this example showcases the artist's signature approach-blending natural materials with functional sculptural design. The box opens through a multi-part puzzle configuration, making it both a conversation piece and an interactive object.
The contrast between the raw bark exterior and the smoothly carved interior highlights its artisan quality and rustic aesthetic-perfect for collectors of outsider art, woodcraft, or cabin décor. Material: Solid wood with natural bark exterior. 4" tall x 3" diameter. Visible cracking and bark loss consistent with age.Adds to its authentic rustic character. Signed and dated artisan work. Functional puzzle + sculptural object. Highly collectible folk art piece.
