vintage chalkware Indian chief bust

A mid-20th century chalkware bust with a strong, graphic profile and hand-painted surface. The form is simply rendered, allowing the bold color to define the piece, with red, yellow, and teal tones creating contrast across the headdress and garment. The paint has a light, expressive quality that gives the surface variation and a distinct sense of character. Its scale and presence make it an easy addition to a shelf or tabletop, where it reads as both decorative and sculptural.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. Some paint loss.
