Stanley Mazur

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a person wearing a blue tunic adorned with a golden waistband and a matching band around the neck. The subject has a headdress detailed with feathers. The material of the sculpture appears to be wood, with the carved details highlighted by painted hues. The figure is poised with one hand resting on the hip and the other holding an object near the waist. Positioned on a rectangular base, the sculpture is smaller in scale compared to a real person.
