Cigar Store Indian

LeRoy Griffith

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure standing on a rectangular pedestal. The figure is dressed in traditional or ceremonial attire with a headdress featuring large, green, leaf-like shapes. The sculpture is made of what appears to be wood, with a natural color and texture visible on the exposed areas of the figure. The pedestal also seems to be made of a similar material, with a grayish hue.
