QR Code Link to This Post
The artist utilizes a sophisticated contrast in textures—the face and neck are polished to a glass-like sheen, while the hair and traditional collar feature intricate, hand-tooled "scutching" that adds depth and realism to the piece. The figure is depicted with traditional Navajo elements, including long tapered earrings and a classic hairstyle.
The Expression:
The piece features a powerful, stoic expression that captures the spirit of resilience and the quiet dignity of Navajo elders. The subject’s gaze is deeply contemplative, offering a sense of wisdom and strength in stillness that fills any room it is placed in.
In excellent well cared for condition. The stone retains its vibrant color and high-gloss finish. Weighs 3.5 pounds and stands a little over 7 inches tall.
