    Description

    A few weeks ago, I had the immense pleasure of meeting Bradford Phillips’ son Delbert. Bradford had called me earlier to say that his son had carved a doll and wanted to sell it to me. We met at Miz Zip’s here in Flagstaff for lunch, and Delbert unwrapped this BEAUTIFUL Pahlik’mana sculpture. His work is much like his father’s, and the line quality and self-confidence of his work awe-inspiring. I am Proud to present to you this absolutely superb sculpture. Carved in a very contemporary style, she stands 12 inches tall. Her body consists of a spiral cloak, enfolding a mesa-top village. Delbert’s carving is beautiful, delicate and polished, his painting muted and subtle. I am certain this young carver has a very bright future ahead of him. Buy with complete confidence, for as you all know, if the buyer is unsatisfied for ANY reason, i will immediately return the full purchase price, along with any return shipping. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to invest in an inspiring new talent. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and sincere Congratulations in advance to the very lucky buyer! As Always, Best Regards, Rich
