Frank Lloyd Wright Nakoma & Nakomis Cast Stone Sculptures
Bring architectural history and cultural symbolism into your landscape with the Nakoma and Nakomis sculptural figures, originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Nakoma Country Club. Inspired by the ceremonial campgrounds of the Winnebago Tribe, these powerful forms were conceived as monumental 16’ and 18’ statuary intended to stand together as complementary figures.
Although Wright’s original Wisconsin commission was never realized during his lifetime, the clubhouse was later constructed by Taliesin Architects, and these remarkable sculptures are now available as officially licensed cast stone reproductions.
Symbolism & Design
Nakoma is a flowing, curvilinear form symbolizing the earth, Mother Nature, and domestic virtue. Her back forms a continuous circle, echoed in her rounded head and the bowl she holds. She carries a papoose and is accompanied by a child at her side, representing nurturing strength and continuity.

Nakomis, the Native American warrior, contrasts with a bold rectilinear design — proud, angular, and commanding. With a fatherly presence, he teaches his son to shoot a bow and arrow, symbolizing guidance, protection, and legacy.

Limitations & Protection Against Abuse of Guarantee:
We do not guarantee our containers from failure due to other actions which might befall the products, such as being struck, dropped or otherwise abused.
Nichols Bros. Stoneworks reserves the right to request the return, for inspection and analysis, to the Snohomish, WA location, any product for which freeze – thaw failure is claimed, with the return packing and shipping costs incurred being borne at least initially by the claimant.
Whether or not the product is returned, any claim must be made in writing and include a full description of the location of the container, when it was most recently moved to the location where failure was first noted, its contents immediately prior to its failure upon its environment and possible cause of its failure.
Upon their review of the written claim and/or the product itself, and based upon their experience and results of any outside scientific analysis they choose to employ, if, in the sole judgment of Nichols Bros.
