Walter Hochstrasser

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure in a costume resembling Native American attire. The figure wears a headdress with colorful feathers (red, yellow, and green) and a blue and red outfit with decorative elements. The sculpture appears to be made of material with vibrant coloring and detailing, possibly painted wood. The figure stands on a rectangular base with wheels, showing the words "Antiques." The sculpture is small, not life-sized, and could have been part of a mobile display.
