Cigar Store Pocahontas

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a figure dressed in traditional attire reminiscent of Native American clothing. The figure wears a variety of colors, including blue, green, and red, with a yellow garment visible underneath. They are standing on a square base and holding an object in their right hand. The figure wears an elaborate headdress with a plume of feathers in brown and white. The sculpture appears to be made of a material that imitates the texture of 3-dimensional statues and the size is similar to that of a human.
