Mounted Relief Carving of Native American with Feathered Headdress 1930s color cubes with no cracks or flaws

with no cracks or flaws in the celluloid

8” tall with a diameter of 5" at widest

The colors and forms remind me so much of Oskar Schlemmer's fantastic costumes for Berlin's Triadic Ballet in the 20s (one pic included in photos)

but I think it still looks pretty great

and pips showing pretty paper watermarks

Mounted Relief Carving of Native American with Feathered Headdress 1930s color cubes with no cracks or flawsI like the contemplativeness of this carved bas relief portrait, which to my eye veers away from kitsch to make it feel like something else entirely, quiet and tender. 1940s or so I would think, with this lovely pale yellow for the shirt and soft red for the tips of the feathers. It looks to me that the portrait was carved separately and then mounted to the panel on which it sits. 12 1 4" t x 8 1 2" w x 1 1 16" d and in very good condition.
