Original artwork description:

The Last of the Mohicans
Material: air-dry clay, wood (antique beam acquired in Kiel), metal
Technique: modeling, mixed media
Dimensions: ___ (to be specified if needed)

This sculpture is a symbolic portrait crafted from air-dry clay and mounted on a massive wooden beam that bears the patina of time. The stern, dignified gaze is complemented by the details of a headdress adorned with feathers and ornamental markings across the face.

The title — “The Last of the Mohicans” — evokes the image of a figure who embodies memory, tradition, and strength, while at the same time carrying a sense of loss and farewell to an era. The contrast between the noble sheen of clay and the raw texture of aged wood emphasizes the dialogue between the fragility of human memory and the endurance of time.
