Description |
This wooden carving by Bessie Harvey is called "Wait." It depicts a person's face with a yellow hat or head covering spotted with black dots. The eyes are white ovals bisected by a brown line and ringed with green. The mouth is open with a white tooth showing under the top lip. The sculpture sits on a circular wooden base, a slice of wood from a tree or branch. The form is roughly a 3-dimensional Y with the bottom column being the person's face and the upper two columns being the head covered. |
