Bust of Native American-The Indian’s head to appears masklike and forbidding. The eyes are deeply undercut, the cheekbones sharply exaggerated, and the mouth pulled downward into a menacing sneer. The hair forms a cowl over the head, and all the features are distinguished by contrasting light and shadow, to very dramatic effect.
