Figurine d'un indien dansant
Creators: Carlo Spéder
Figurine of a dancing Indian, armed with two hatchets, of which the one on the right has lost its leather blade. He wears a long, white leather war bonnet, adorned with black motifs imitating feathers. These copper "feathers", linked by a red and green floral ribbon embellished with multicolored flowers in relief, complete the ensemble. Beneath this headdress, her long black hair, braided into two low pigtails, reaches down to her hips. Her wooden head, painted in a warm brown, features dotted black eyebrows, elongated eyes, a teardrop-shaped nose, all in relief, and an inverted smile revealing a tooth. His face is decorated with tribal paintings of various shapes and colors. Articulated, its head rests on an iron spike. His clothes are richly patterned and textured. He wears a loose-fitting top and pants, adorned with beige leather bangs and flower-shaped buttons. Red and orange fabric, also finished with bangs, covers his shoulders and waist, accompanied by strips of orange leather. A piece of cloth hangs between her legs at the waist. His iron hands, painted brown, each hold a white and red plastic hatchet. His torso and waist are decorated with several rows of multicolored beads. His round white shoes are adorned with floral motifs. The plywood base is covered in red, green, beige and yellow geometric fabric, while its sides are wrapped in red and dark blue fabric with geometric and floral motifs.
