Disembodied Folk Art Head

A curious disembodied head. Painted on 5.8” thick ruff hewn wood and 7 inches tall. There is wear on the wood subsequent to it being painted (see around the back of the head) so it is old but I am not sure how old, Certainly earlier than 1950 given the patina on the unpainted wood surface on the reverse. Painted wooden head of unknown purpose collection Jim Linderman / Dull Tool Dim Bulb.
