I still have to decide just what type of decoration to put on the head...either feathers or a hat. At the moment I'm leaning toward feathers and have made a few just in case that's the direction I end up going. The crosshatched areas on each side of the jacket will be beaded and the center medallion will be a peace medal. I've lightly etched the relief of a bust on the medal that will be enhanced when it's painted.
I was originally going to name this one "The Delegate" as if he was heading for a peace conference. However, I decided to save that name for another figure as I think a peace delegate would be dressed to more represent their tribe. Here's a photo of the feathers, ready to be painted.
He should be pretty colorful once painted and should make an attractive piece to someone's collection.
Very nice Lynn. I like this as it has so much detail and yet there is a softness to it. Beautiful!
