Essay/Description

Artist's original title is considered offensive, so the museum staff have given the artwork a descriptive title.

Curatorial Remarks

This bronze is one of two in a set of bookends, the other is Indian Family (Indian Man) (0837.21). It has no cast number. There is resin and wood inside the figure.

Information given by Ann Boulton Young, Associate Conservator for the Gilcrease Museum, 2018
