Cigar Store Indian

Chris Makrenos

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a standing figure wearing a tunic, cloak, and headband with long hair flowing over the shoulders. The color scheme is predominantly brown with gold accents. The material appears to be wood with visible texture and grain. The figure holds a club and a rope or sash, standing on a sturdy rectangular base. The facial features and garment folds are intricately carved. The sculpture seems to be small-scale.
