Description

A grotesque depiction of an African American Indian; seems to be of a derogatory nature. They seem to be made of brass. It is a representation of a face with a snub nose with wide lips and teeth showing. The ears have long loop-like earrings pulling them down. The hair is very curly, and two feathers rise from the top. Possible function is as an ashtray.
