10 Saura Indian Woman at Museum of History in Raleigh, North Carolina

This bronze statue on the steps of the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh is called Sauratown Woman. The likeness was recreated from the archeological remains of an 18 to 21 year old Native American buried in the village of Upper Sauratown. The plague explains she is a Saura Indian who lived along the Dan River in the late 1600s. “The deerskin dress and hood suggests a high status in the tribe.” The sculpture is the work of Virginia artist Alvaro Coronado.
