Bring home the warmth and charm of true hand craftsmanship with this vintage 1970s hand-carved sleeping cat, created from beautifully grained monkeypod wood—a favorite material of mid-century Philippine and Southeast Asian artisans.
This peaceful curled-up cat was entirely carved by hand, using deep knife-cut lines to define the ears, tail, and gentle resting posture. Decades of natural aging have given it a rich, warm patina that you simply cannot replicate with modern factory-made decor. Pieces like this were often sold in small artisan markets during the 1960s–1980s and cherished as keepsake carvings symbolizing calm, protection, and domestic peace.
At approximately 3.5–4 inches long, this little cat fits perfectly on a nightstand, bookshelf, desk, or altar space—ideal for collectors of folk art, mid-century woodcraft, animal figurines, or natural wood décor. The smooth rounded body combined with rustic chisel work makes it a timeless blend of charm and craftsmanship.
