Cows
An animal motif from the next valley
Animal motifs like this reclining cow made from unvarnished arolla pine wood were carved mainly in Villnöß during the 19th century and up to the First World War. A range of animals were depicted: exotic beasts from Noah's Ark, yet there were also examples of local animals, mostly characteristic of Alpine romanticism.
