For your consideration is an Original Signed Helen Wills Post Ceramic Sculpture, circa 1960-1980, signed at the bottom right hand. Similar to her Chador, Chador II, and "Untitled Woman in Chador" creations, this solitary figure is also wrapped in a chador with only the eyes and nose exposed. A chador, also variously spelled in English as chadah, chadar, chader, chudah, chadur, and naturalized as, is an outer garment or open cloak worn by many women in the Persian-influenced countries of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, as well as Shia communities in Iraq, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Helen Wills Post (1915-2010) Helen began studying sculpture at the Corcoran Museum School of Art under the direction of Heinz Warneke. Further studies in sculpture were at Sacramento State College and the University of California at Davis. She would eventually work in stone, wood, cement, plaster, clay, wax, and bronze. Common themes within her work were abstracted human and animal forms, sometimes humorous and sometimes dark. This ceramic is in nice condition, colouring is mottled. Measures 12"H x 8"W x 8"D, weight 8lb, 4oz.
