Large Hand-Carved Tintin in Space Wooden Statue with Snowy – 42cm – Folk Art Sculpture  

Description:

A striking large vintage hand-carved wooden statue of Tintin in his iconic orange spacesuit, accompanied by Snowy, inspired by Hergé’s Explorers on the Moon. This is not an official licensed piece, but a handmade folk-art interpretation that captures the charm, posture and expressions of the beloved comic characters.

Tintin is shown holding a blue helmet, dressed in the classic padded orange moon suit from the lunar adventure albums, while Snowy stands at his feet wearing a matching suit. The carving is full of personality, with exaggerated folk-art features and a warm, aged patina.

At approximately 42 cm tall, it is an impressive display piece — substantial, colourful, and very much a conversation starter for Tintin fans.
