Clay figurine of human-like being. The mark making of this piece is bold and thick with patterns making up for face shapes. As it says in the title it's a Native American Object and it resembles much of that style. This figure has similar colors to its other pieces. The head is slightly larger than the body and protruding from its back. The head makes the piece look incredibly slouched. The pieces of clay together do not appear to be scored together or blended together. The back appears to be one big panel with a thin molded head into the back. Squished as well, maybe intentionally for texture and appearance. The figure wears a necklace and has hands at the bottom carrying a bowl maybe. The legs have toes attached to the feet. The eyes/lips/nose sit lower on the face, but it takes the same amount of space as the hat does on the top of its head. The hat has intricate markings of lines and circles. At the side of the head, it appears to have ears or earrings that make up 1/2 of the length of the full face/hat.Acquisition
