Treasures from the Vault: Carmen Lozar

A small sculpture with a woman standing on top of a roof. The only visible portion of the house is the top third, slanted on an angle. Three brown dogs look up to the woman, or over the edge of the roof. The woman is clutching a blue towel that is wrapped around her. She has brown hair put up in buns, and something like a tiara on her head. Up the sides of the house are growing four vines.
