Peace - Colors of Life Collection by Norman Hughes

This is a highly detailed, limited edition figurine titled 'Peace' from the 'Colors of Life' collection designed by artist Norman Hughes. The statue depicts an African American woman with a striking, dual-toned hairstyle (black braids on one side and a white flowing wave on the other), symbolizing balance. She is draped in an elegant, flowing off-white gown with wide, draped sleeves that feature intricate floral and vine embroidery in pink, green, and gold tones. A white dove, symbolizing peace, rests in her hands. She is positioned next to a carved wooden-style stool featuring a traditional African mask motif. The base includes a single fallen pink rose, and the entire piece is mounted on a tiered wooden display stand. The craftsmanship is evident in the fine details of the fabric folds and the delicate facial features. The figurine is likely made of a fine cold-cast resin or porcelain material with hand-painted applications. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or fading, maintaining the vibrant colors and smooth texture of the original manufacture. This collection was popular in the late 1990s through the early 2000s, known for celebrating African American heritage and spiritual themes.
