Northwest Coast Wood Figure

fragmentary, of stylized form, carved with an exaggerated body, the arms in slight relief and held tightly to the sides, the head with downward turning mouth and large oval eyerims beneath arching brows.

Hairline split between the torso and right arm. Minor surface abrasion to the front consistent with age. The back is quite rough but appears either never to have been finished or heavily worn.
