American Indian Head 20th Century

About the Item

This is a sculpture depicting the head of a Native American crafted from natural materials, imparting authenticity and a connection to the land and indigenous culture. The head, carved from wood, showcases refined artisanal skills with carefully sculpted details capturing the essence of the individual represented. The facial expression may reflect dignity, serenity, or wisdom, characteristics often associated with depictions of tribal leaders or respected figures in Native American culture. The sculpture stands out for incorporating materials such as feathers, hair, leather, and wood, symbolizing the intrinsic connection of indigenous communities to nature and their ability to use available resources respectfully. Feathers, meticulously arranged, may carry specific symbolic meanings within the cultural tradition, representing achievements, spiritual connections, or tribal affiliations. The hair, likely intricately carved, adds authenticity and texture to the piece. Leather, possibly part of the attire or ornamental details, could be decorated with culturally significant motifs. The combination of these elements creates a unique piece paying homage to the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans. With dimensions of 32x23x17 cm, the sculpture has a size that allows for an appreciation of intricate details, yet it remains manageable enough to be displayed in a domestic setting or cultural space. In good conservation condition, this piece is not just an artistic representation but also a tangible testament to the craftsmanship and spiritual connection with nature in Native American cultures.
