Carved Wooden Fisherman Figure – CL Hasle ca. 1960s

Hand-carved wooden fisherman figure, signed CL Hasle and likely produced in Norway in the 1960s. The figure depicts an elderly fisherman wearing a traditional sou'wester and work clothes, executed with fine details and an expressive face.

This is a fine example of Norwegian folk art from the mid-20th century, with a clear handcrafted character and a naturally patinated surface. Such figures were often made as decorative craft pieces and souvenirs with a maritime motif.

The signature on the underside of the base confirms its origin, though the artist is otherwise little documented, which is common for this type of folk art. The figure is well suited as a collector's item or as a decorative element in maritime or Scandinavian interiors.
