The composition employs elegant formal reduction: radiating projections around the face evoke elaborate traditional coiffures, while the abstracted diamond silhouette below the neck distills human form to its essential geometry. Displayed on a custom black wood base, Dimensions: 24" H × 10" W × 3" D (figure); stand 6.75" W × 4.25" D. See less
