This larger-than-life bust of a man shows the traditional jewelry and facial paint of a culture that has faded away. The head is supported by a long neck, which is decorated with simple lines and a beautiful necklace. The face itself is a deep red color with geometric design painted along the cheekbones in a subtle beige color. The eyes are alive and expressive as is the mouth that smiles openly, bearing the teeth. The hair is done in a simple fashion and decorated with a beautiful band around the forehead. The ears and nose are pierced completing the beautiful work that suggests the depiction of a person of high standing. Such apiece demonstrates the power of art and its importance in helping us to understand the past of which we have become a part.
