Wyoming Artifact
9 1/2 High X 12 1/2" Wide X 14" Deep
Bronze with Patina and Paint


Wyoming Artifact - In "Wyoming" Dave presents a bronze representation of his native state's history and culture. Among the distinguishing elements of this piece are Chief Washakie's war bonnet, beaded gloves from the Chief's great great grandson James Trospher and a pictorial pipe bag, which is believed to have been obtained in trade or taken from a Shoshone enemy. Symbolizing Wyoming's cowboy heritage is a Halstead Colt 45 and spurs. Also on this piece is a buffalo skull.
