This piece stands 41.5 inches high and presents a refined, vertical form with a serene brass face framed by hand-built ceramic. Seibel’s signature blending of materials is on full display: woven textiles in warm mauve, plum, and ochre tones wrap the figure, accented with rope, fringe, and delicate embellishments including a small brass bird ornament and feather detail. The result is a richly layered surface that invites close inspection while maintaining a calm, totemic presence.

The brass face and feet provide a striking contrast to the matte ceramic and soft textile elements, creating a balance between strength and subtlety. Compared to the largest figure in the series, this sculpture offers a slightly more slender profile, making it highly versatile for interior placement while still delivering strong visual impact.

This sculpture is being sold individually, but was originally conceived as part of a three-piece grouping, allowing collectors the opportunity to acquire a single statement work or build a complete installation over time.

Naida Seibel (1933–2026) was a Colorado- and Santa Fe–based artist known for her multidisciplinary approach, merging ceramics, fiber, and painting into distinctive sculptural forms. Her work reflects the color, texture, and spirit of the American Southwest and is held in numerous private and public collections.
