Artist

The sculpture portrays a standing figure of an Indigenous man in traditional attire. He wears a headdress with red and brown feathers, a long cloak-like garment with golden trim, and pants in a muted shade. The man holds a long object in his right hand and his left hand rests on his hip. The sculpture is made of wood, with painted details for a naturalistic appearance. The figure stands upright on a rectangular base, with a calm facial expression looking straight ahead.
