Tribal Working Lady 2 Brass Figurative Sculpture

The seated figure holds a calm, ritual gravity, its dark polished surface absorbing light while gilded ornaments catch it in sudden, sacred flashes—like memory turning into icon. Composed in a compact triangular stability, the body’s forward-leaning posture suggests devotion and labor at once, as if the act of grinding or offering becomes a meditation on sustenance and continuity. The contrast between ebony tonality, bright gold accents, and a vivid blue cloth sets up a hierarchy of meanings: earthbound materiality lifted by ceremonial presence. In its stillness, the sculpture quietly binds the domestic to the divine, proposing that everyday gestures can carry the weight of ancestral time.
