-Time to Save (tree-stump clock)- still bank c. 20th century

This charming folk art piece, created by an anonymous artist in the 20th century, is a reminder of the importance of saving. Crafted from a tree stump, the object is shaped like a clock with the inscription "TIME TO SAVE". It's an example of the tradition of using found objects in folk art. The use of natural materials and the simple, hand-painted design make this a delightful example of folk art. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this unique artwork, which was likely created as a whimsical reminder for the artist or perhaps to be used as a piggy bank.
