Navajo Folk Art Angora Goat — Carved Wood, Leather & Mohair, 7 in.
Charming Navajo folk art Angora goat sculpture, handcrafted with a carved black wooden head featuring tall upright horns, hand-cut leather ears, and inset glass eyes. The body is fully covered in long, lustrous curly mohair fleece, sourced from an Angora goat hide and chosen for its natural sheen and texture. Each element—wood, leather, and fleece—is skillfully integrated, reflecting the tactile warmth and individuality of Southwestern artisan traditions.
Figures of this type are closely associated with late 20th-century Navajo folk art, representing the animals central to pastoral life and weaving heritage. While often colloquially referred to as “sheep,” the upright horns and glossy mohair confirm this example as an Angora goat. A distinctive and beautifully crafted work, ideal for collectors of Native American folk art and rustic Southwestern décor.
Condition:
Excellent condition with no visible damage. The mohair fleece remains full and clean, and all wooden, leather, and horn components are secure and intact.
Dimensions:
5 x 4.5 x 7 inches
