Cigar Store Indian

Georgine E. Mason

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure dressed in a colorful outfit. The figure appears to be a Native American, wearing a headdress adorned with red and green feathers. The attire features a red robe or dress with white fringes at the hem and shoulders, and the legs are painted yellow. The material of the sculpture is wood with painted surfaces. The figure stands on a black base. The height of the sculpture suggests it is a small or mid-sized model, not life-sized. The sculpture is captured against a plain background.
