SOLD Wonderful Folk Art Portrait of Native American Woman on Barrel Lid mourning sailor with seams holding and noWhat a beauty, and what wonderful detail on this portrait of a young Native American woman, with marvelous patterning composed of dots and dots inside of dots which also reminds me of Aboriginal Australian paintings.
