August 1939. "Statue by local artist. Cimarron, New Mexico." Medium format negative by Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Offhand, I'd guess this is an attempt at a mother-goddess figure, likely one with Aztec roots, quite possibly Tonantzin.
It's OK, she's ARMLESS. She wouldn't, and couldn't hurt a fly in her present condition.
I think that this is a statue of a HAND Maiden.
I think they clean this with ARM-OR All.
Ok that's it.
Does this statue still stand? Like maybe a headstone, or something? This is the worst example of art I could ever wish to imagine. I thought our "modern art" was bad.
