Provenance:

Private collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

Substantial in size and presence, artist Roy Henry has created a flowing and organic composition evocative of dream imagery rooted in Haudenosaunee tradition. The massiveness of the form is balanced by a lightness implied by the undercutting of stone around the hair of the figure, and a flowing band of wampum that appears intertwined with it.

CONDITION DETAILS

Minute abrasions, particularly around bottom edge of figure. Overall very good condition.

Please contact the specialist for further condition information.
