A pair of hand-carved folk art wooden busts depicting a male and female figure. Each figure is rendered in a stylized, elongated manner with narrow noses and closed eyes. Both figures wear tall-brimmed hats with black-painted accents. The male figure is distinguished by a vertically grooved, black-painted beard. The wood retains a natural warm tone with visible grain and prominent tool marks consistent with primitive carving techniques. The flat base of one bust bears a handwritten inscription in black ink that reads: MAKE:BY IN STRAWBERRY LEROY FEALD.
