About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a statue. The figure stands tall, holding a long pole. They wear a long robe with fringe at the bottom and a hood pulled up. Their hair is long and braided, falling over one shoulder. The background looks like a curved wall with a fan shape at the top. The statue’s name is carved into the base: *Tsakawia*. That’s the only clue here. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.

The story of this work

Overview

A photograph mounted on green card, this image is part of a collection bequeathed in 1938 by William Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture. Kineton Parkes gathered these photographs in the 1920s by sending questionnaires to sculptors, and this example was among those submitted in response. The collection is now held in the Archive of Art and Design.
