Description
Red Band Cigar Chief by Steven Bateson.
Standing guard over a store near the plaza of Santa Fe, New Mexico this cigar store wooden Indian reminds us of our historical past.
The cigar store Indian or wooden Indian is an advertisement figure, in the likeness of a Native American, used to represent tobacconists. The figures are often three-dimensional wooden sculptures several feet tall – up to life-sized. They are still occasionally used for their original advertising purpose but are more often seen as decorations or advertising collectibles. Wikipedia
