Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a human figure with stylized and angular features. The figure is standing upright, with a defined facial structure and is wearing a garment styled as a short dress or robe in a deep green color with golden fringes and a yellow belt around the waist. The sculpture is painted in muted earthy tones, with brown for the skin and sandy tones for the clothing details. One leg of the figure is positioned forward, resting on a small cylindrical object. The sculpture appears to be made of a solid, possibly wooden material, with visible joint articulations suggesting traditional construction techniques.
