In this sculpture, a kneeling figure is shown wearing an amautiq adorned with colourful beaded embellishments that provide a vivid contrast to the spare modelling of the stone. The composition draws its strength from the balance between carefully observed detail and simplified form, creating a work that is both intimate in scale and deeply expressive.
Provenance
Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle.
