Description
An Anthropomorphic Figure carved from basalt. Columbia River Valley. Pre-European Contact period.
The figure is over four and a half feet tall. From the catalog: "Considering its massive size and the exaggerated genitalia touching the ground, it probably served as a public monument to commemorate an individual either real or mythical, as a symbol of fertility, strength, and renewal."
