Large black stone sculpture of a kneeling female figure in a parka. The figure has stylized features: long slanted eyes, rounded cheeks and forehead, a bulbous nose and a wide mouth. The hair is demarked by horizontal chisel marks and is parted at the centre of the figure’s forehead. The ends of the arms are also roughly chiselled. The junction between the figures legs and torso is emphasized by a deep ridge.
Bulbous cream-coloured vase with flared neck, decorated in dark blue and purple designs. One side depicts a shield, in which the bottom is half blue and half cream and the top half features three blue fleurs-de-lis. The other side has an abstract design encircled by a purple vine-like line with blue circles. The vase’s neck and base are also decorated with rings of vine-like patterns.
Short pedestal dish with white base. The imagery on the dish is divided into four quadrants decorated with geometric blue and white designs. Sections opposite one-another have the same pattern. Two have cross-hatched wavy and straight lines and the other two have a diamond-like pattern with crosses at each of the diamonds’ points. At the centre is a green circle with the initials VHS and two star-like designs in orange. The dish is encircled by a thick blue rim.
