Hitching Post Finial

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a head with prominent facial features such as a wide mouth, long nose, and deep-set eyes. Two small, rounded protrusions on the forehead resemble horns. The sculpture is crafted from wood with a natural brown tone. Cracks and grooves on the surface suggest an antiquated appearance. The head is in profile, attached to a cylindrical base.
