"Indian Goddess" 
Photographer: Robert Chartier
Description: I discovered this sculpture only 20 feet off a mountain roadway. It just captured my attention and almost commanded me to photograph it. Once in the studio, I discovered far more in this image than I had noticed capturing the image, it is magical with the front headdress and a crow outline on the right (back side) of the headdress.
