## About Shields Landon Jones

Shields Landon Jones (1901–1997) was an American artist described in the collected biographical evidence as an American folk artist. He is known for hand-carved, painted wood sculptures, making the physical construction and painted surface central to recognizing his documented type of work. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with sculptural folk-art objects offered through auction channels. The available evidence supports a focused profile built around his lifetime, American identity, folk-art context, and carved-and-painted wood practice. It does not establish a detailed career chronology, formal training, regional affiliations, named series, recurring subjects, or an authenticated signature reference. Those details should therefore be investigated object by object. Because the current source pack contains no accessible museum object record, artist-estate resource, or catalogue raisonné, attribution should not be based on this short biography alone.

## Common works and media

The only work type specifically documented in the collected biographical evidence is hand-carved, painted wood sculpture in an American folk-art context. The source pack does not support adding prints, paintings, ceramics, drawings, posters, named series, or recurring subjects to this profile. Candidate works should be assessed through object-specific photographs, construction details, painted surfaces, inscriptions, measurements, provenance, and auction cataloguing.

## Market and appraisal context

The strongest documented auction category for Shields Landon Jones is hand-carved, painted wood sculpture. Appraisal research should begin by confirming that an object fits this work type and is credibly attributed to the artist. Its physical characteristics, cataloguing, ownership history, inscriptions, condition, and supporting documentation should then be evaluated against genuinely comparable objects. The supplied Appraisily dataset associates 131 records with this artist page, but the collected public-page response did not expose their lot-level details. Relevant records should be compared by auction house, sale date, lot description, realized price, and visual similarity. This source pack does not support a price trend, market forecast, scarcity claim, or guaranteed value range.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. For Shields Landon Jones, identity and medium evidence is available, but detailed institutional and lot-level evidence in this source pack remains limited.
