Black/African American/AfricanDescription
Woodcarving by Mario Sanchez depicting a striking, stylized Black figure walking to the right against a richly textured background of brown hues with intricate designs. The figure, wearing a long white top and a dress with a distinct red and white checkerboard pattern, appears contemplative and poised. On their head is balanced an intricately woven basket filled with laundry, adding a sense of balance and harmony to the composition. The character's features are boldly defined, with a dark complexion contrasting sharply against their attire.Type of Sculpture
