Female Centaur Wood Carving Folk Art

Description

A folk art work of a pretty bold statement, a masked or blindfolded female centaur. Obviously, a mixed message on the female situation, as having beauty, strength, and being blinded to her surroundings, a lot of meanings to unpack here.
The measurements are 31" tall and 24.5" by 9.5" on the plinth. The body is built by sections of wooden blocks and polychromed to be a wonderful chestnut horse and blush torso. The mask is an actual leather patch nailed to the face.
