Cigar Store Indian

James McLellan

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a female figure standing on a wooden platform with wheels. She is shown wearing a feathered headdress with detailed plumes and a colorful dress with red, green, and gold accents. Her right hand is raised, holding an object, while her left hand rests on what appears to be a book. The sculpture has a polished, shiny finish. The figure stands upright, looking forward, and the overall appearance is vibrant due to the rich coloration and intricate details in both the attire and the headdress.
