Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a handcrafted figure made from woven materials, possibly straw or similar fibers, featuring an artistic representation of a face. The face, drawn on a flat, square section, is adorned with geometric patterns and symbols, including a crown-like design. The figure's body is intricately braided, gradually tapering down to a rounded base. Two braided loops hang from beneath the face, likely representing arms. Above the face, layers of tightly woven material fan outwards, adding textured detail to the figure's head, resembling a headdress or hair. The entire sculpture is displayed on a flat, circular white stand, ensuring stability and focus on its artisanal construction.
