EDITORS COMMENTS
This figurehead, titled "Figurehead from the 'Diadem'", was created by American artist Hazel Hyde around 1938. The intricately carved wooden sculpture depicts a golden reptile, possibly a snake, coiled and poised, adorned with elaborate patterns and details. The figurehead once graced the bow of a ship named "Diadem", a testament to the rich maritime history of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Hyde's masterful use of color, evident in the watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink techniques employed on paperboard, brings the figurehead to life. The golden hue of the reptile's scales shines brightly, while the intricate carving showcases the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. The figurehead's functional role as a decorative element on a ship, a common practice during this period, adds to its historical significance. The "Diadem" figurehead is now part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States. This figurehead is a prime example of the functional art that adorned ships during the 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the important role that water transport played in American history.
