Artist, American, 1908 - 2005

The sculpture depicts a figure standing upright, dressed in attire suggestive of indigenous clothing. The subject wears a tall headdress adorned with colorful feathers, and a mantle drapes over its shoulders, cinched at the waist. The sculpture is primarily a reddish-brown color, resembling the tones of natural wood. The figure stands on a rectangular base that appears to be made of the same material. The subject's hands are positioned in front, with an expressionless face that gazes slightly forward or downward. The clothing and feathered headdress are vividly detailed. The overall stance is static and formal.
