A group of five hand-carved wooden items consisting of a pair of bookends, a pair of salt and pepper shakers, and a single large figurine. The pair of bookends is crafted in the style of Mexican folk art, featuring figures wearing sombreros in a seated siesta pose. One figure is painted with a red skirt and patterned banding, while the other wears cream-colored clothing with a red sash; both are attached to dark wooden bases. The salt and pepper shakers are bust-length carvings of an elderly man and woman; the man is depicted with a grey beard and blue cap, and the woman with a blue headscarf and pink top. Small dispensing holes are present at the top of each head. The collection also includes a large hand-carved troll figurine in the Scandinavian folk art style, made from a single block of wood with a medium-brown stain. The troll features a grumpy expression, an oversized nose, and deep facial furrows, and is standing with hands in pockets. No maker's marks, signatures, or labels were observed on any of the pieces.
