Circa 1920, Colorful depiction of a standing person with a flaring conical hat painted in mustard yellow with bands of green and red and large, eye‑motifs on the brim and shoulders; the front of the body is carved in a bold, triangular relief and decorated with repeated abstract eye and mask designs in black over teal and brown grounds, framed by a yellow border, while the back is left largely unpainted, showing the tool‑marks and wear of the original cedar block; the figure’s face and hat retain much of their original polychrome with an appealing, softly worn surface from age and use.

Cedar wood with polychrome pigment, some weathering.

Size height 14 inches (35.5 cm).
