Three vintage hand-carved, hand-painted wooden folk figures: a boy playing a fiddle, and two girls in bunad (traditional Norwegian folk dress) — one stirring a bowl of porridge, the other blowing a lur horn. Classic faceted knife-cut carving style, lightweight wood.
All three are stamped on the base "Carved by hand in Norway" in blue ink — fully legible on one figure, faded to illegibility on the other two from handling and years of display. This stamp wording and these figure styles resemble carvings from the Norwegian workshop Henning, but the pieces are not signed with the Henning name, so we cannot confirm the maker.
Please review all photos closely, including close-ups of the legible and faded stamps, as they're part of the description.
