The wood used for this sculpture is called ironwood and is better known in Mexico as Palo Fierro. As its' name implies, it is one of the heaviest and most dense woods known to man. Its' fine, dense grain makes it very difficult to carve. The tree grows at an altitude of 2500-feet or less in the desert and coastal regions of Sonora, Mexico. The Seri Indians and local craftsmen of Sonora are the master artisans of this wonderful work of art. This sculture depicts a highly detailed American Indian Chief. Note the beautiful buffalo head carved into the base of this piece. Measures approximately 35-inches tall.
