Vintage Bisque Ceramic Figurine of a Kneeling Indigenous American Woman
Not sold
Description
A vintage bisque ceramic figurine depicting a young Indigenous American woman in a kneeling, pensive pose. The figure is shown with closed eyes and a bowed head, resting on a rectangular base decorated with a stylized geometric zigzag pattern and grassy textures. She is dressed in a brown off-the-shoulder top featuring a fringed hem and gold-toned accents, a tan skirt cinched with a dark brown belt, and dark fringed boots. Her black hair is styled in two braids, and she wears a red headband adorned with five gold-colored circular medallions. The figurine features a matte, non-reflective finish throughout. The underside of the base is hollow and shows two large circular vent holes. A single incised character, the letter B, is present on the underside (photo 5). The letter is rendered in a serif style and is not legible as a specific manufacturer or artist name.
