HEAD OF A BOY STOOL CARRIER
(1955)
Original Dimensions:
17" x 7" x 3.5"
Original Materials:
King or Black Ebony
Note the flattened head to depict the weight of a stool on a carrier's head,
in this case a small boy. The pinched look on the face and lips, the contours on the forehead
and down to the nose also illustrate the fatigue encountered by the boy. The pronounced cheeks
are expressive of similar bodily strain.
