"The Boho Buccaneer" Gasparilla Corner Person
Get ready to surrender the booty! Commemorate Tampa’s legendary Gasparilla Pirate Fest with this one-of-a-kind "Corner Person" created by renowned folk artist Su Griggs.
This handcrafted pirate brings a splash of vibrancy and wild style to the crew. Sculpted with Su’s signature expressive style, "The Boho Buccaneer" is defined by her voluminous, flowing black yarn hair—a unique texture among the collection. She wears a red bandana and a black eye patch over her right eye.
Standing on her signature tall, black-and-white striped bamboo legs, she wears a painted bodice in striking shades of pink and red with white textured shoulders. Her outfit is accented with a gold bead necklace and a skirt of purple fringe. Her waist is the focal point of her bohemian look, featuring a sash of colorful cords and a belt adorned with a prominent green oval gemstone. A silver curved horn or tusk is tucked securely at her hip.
