National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is of a Native American man standing upright. He wears a red tunic with a blue sash, a gold necklace, and a feathered headdress. His skin is tan. The sculpture's leggings are light blue with white accents; he wears brown shoes. In his right arm, he holds a book, and a pipe is tucked under his left arm. The sculpture stands on a rectangular dark-colored base. The craftsmanship is detailed, with attention to textures and colors, giving the sculpture a lifelike yet stylized appearance.
