Carved Wooden Bust with Feathered Headdress
A painted wooden bust of a man with long hair, a feathered headdress, and a fur-trimmed collar, mounted on a carved scrolled base against a brick wall. Its surface shows weathered greenish paint, red drapery, and gilded accents, with a dark hole at the chest. The carved, frontal style suggests folk craftsmanship.
