I found these ancient carvings layered within a window of the museum. They have been carved from trees by Indians, and each of the three figures shows its textures differently. The carving closest to the window is the brightest, and reveals the powerfully primitive pattern of its art in a brilliantly detailed manner. As the light falls off within the window, the textures become darker. The figure at left seems a bit more sophisticated in its textural presence, while the exaggerated face in the deep background turns soft and somewhat more remote. Yet it is that final softly focused face that gives this image its ultimate meaning.
