Finished in a matte black surface, this sculpture has a strong modernist feel with subtle folk-art undertones. The piece is signed and dated “Emily F. ’77” along the lower edge, indicating a likely studio or student work from the late 1970s.

The sculpting shows confident hand modeling, particularly in the face and neck, with natural asymmetry that adds character and authenticity. The underside and edges reveal the original white plaster beneath the black finish, confirming the medium rather than resin or cast stone.

This piece works beautifully as an art object, bookshelf sculpture, or dramatic accent in a modern, eclectic, or gallery-style interior. See less
