Cigar Store Indian

Robert W.R. Taylor

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a female figure dressed in a traditional outfit. She wears a layered skirt with red and yellow accents and a feathered headdress. In one hand, she holds a bundle, while a bird perches on the opposite arm. The sculpture appears to be made of painted wood, with prominent red, yellow, and brown hues. The life-sized figure stands on a base inscribed with the word "CIGARS." The attire, posture, and accessories are detailed and stylized, creating a colorful and intricate design.
