Lot 507: A Contemporary Stylised Figurine of a Seated Woman

A contemporary decorative figurine, depicting a seated woman in a stylised, elongated form. The figure is shown in an upright posture with an exaggeratedly tall neck and a vertical beehive-style hairstyle. The woman wears a textured two-piece suit with a single red flower applied to the lapel and a painted pearl-like necklace. She holds a rectangular patterned clutch bag in her lap while seated upon a block-form bench. The entire piece is constructed from a composite material with a heavily stippled and pitted surface texture, finished in shades of red, cream, and brown. The figurine is mounted on an irregular, organic-shaped base with a sand-coloured texture. Rectangular marks are visible on the side of the clutch bag, though the characters are not legible as a name. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
