Description

The Native American sculptural figures Nakoma and Nakomis were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Nakoma Country Club, a building inspired by the ceremonial campgrounds of the Winnebago Tribe. Wright's original commission was to be built in Wisconsin, but it was never realized until the clubhouse was recently constructed by Taliesin Architects. The original sizes were 16' and 18' respectively.

The Nakoma sculpture is a curvilinear design, symbolic of the earth and Mother Nature as well as domestic virtue. her back is a continuous circle, with a round head and she holds a round bowl. Nakoma also carries a papoose and has a child at her side.

24" tall - weight 69 lbs. - 6" front to back, 5-1/4" wide

The Native American warrior, Nakomis, is a rectilinear design - proud, angular and striking. With a commanding, fatherly presence he teaches his son to shoot with a bow and arrow.
