Large Carved Cigar Store Indian, Shop Trade Sign
This is a very rare find, he is a full size American Indian, he is carved from one piece of wood ( a tree trunk, possibly pine )
The statue would have stood outside a cigar store, standing out doors would account for some splitting of the wood, there are a few in the length of the statue.
The paint seems to be original, it is bright and in reasonably good condition, our Indian, has high cheek bones and is wrapped in his blanket, wearing native jewellery with feathers hanging from his head
The Statue is 79” tall, and about 14” in diameter at the floor
