Indian Squaw Tobacconist’s Figure
Anonymous
Circa 1880-1900
A small trade stimulator with headdress and costume suggesting identity...otherwise here face is more western than the stereotypical Indian maiden’s face. This delightful carving has a great attitude from any viewing angle and is in old paint; she stands atop the original base created from the full tree trunk of which it was carved. (Height: 41.5-inches; base measures: 13 by 12-inches.)
