Florence Serna Attributed Hand-Carved Cottonwood Pipe-Smoking Face Wall Sculpture
Hand-carved from a single piece of cottonwood, this folk art wall sculpture is attributed to Florence Serna of the Mondragon family, Cordova, New Mexico—an area celebrated for its generations of skilled woodcarvers. The piece depicts a whimsical bearded face with a long-stemmed pipe, emerging organically from the natural contours of the weathered wood. The warm-toned carving contrasts beautifully with the rustic bark, highlighting both craftsmanship and the character of the cottonwood.
Signed “Serna” on the back and fitted with a wall hanger, this sculpture blends Southwestern folk tradition with a playful artistic vision. A distinctive addition to cabin, lodge, or Southwestern décor, and an appealing acquisition for collectors of Cordova carvings.
