Original Large Hand Carved Genuine Sandstone Sculpture.

This Hand Carved Sandstone sculpture is an amazing work of art. Its simple, curvilinear form keeps the eye engaged in a boundless circuit. This impressive carving is a blend of natural materials and a timeless human form. The subtle feminine figure appears to hold a shawl held closed by her hand at the neck. The natural textures and sedimentary pattern are what provide the detail in this austere form. Soft earth tone hues including oranges and salmon pinks swirl throughout the design like wispy clouds at sunset. This sculpture will be a magnificent addition to any decor. It weighs about 40 pounds and has a solid hardwood base. It is 11" wide and 15-1/2" tall. This Sandstone sculpture is a true work of art.

The objects man makes are called artifacts, and every artifact, whether it is beautiful or ugly, crude or refined, utilitarian or ceremonial, is a reflection and product of man's skills, his techniques, his arts. Artifacts reflect the ideas, the concepts, and the knowledge acquired or learned as a member of a tribe. Members of a particular tribe use certain techniques, and create a particular style because that is their tradition.
