Artist, American, 1893 - 1964

The sculpture depicts a figure standing on a rocky base. The individual has long black hair, wears a red cloak with a golden trim, a pale pink tunic and matching trousers, golden shoes, and a headdress made of green leaves. They hold a small axe in one hand and have a gaze into the distance, shading their eyes with the other hand. The materials appear to be painted and showcase colors such as red, gold, green, and black.
