Folk art carving representing Faith, Hope & Love / pine / c. late 19th century

Description

Striking folk art sculpture carved from a single block of pine. The three-tiered column is hollowed out to form a heart, anchor, and cross, symbolizing faith, hope, and love, reflecting the words of Paul:

“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” 1 Corinthians 13:13

Regardless of origin or intent, the piece is a powerful work of folk art sculpture and carries potent symbolism to this day. Found in Maine.
