Masterwork 35"h Maquette 23"h
Bronze with Patina and Paint


"Gray Hawk’s Legacy" is the second bronze in Dave McGary’s series the Gray Hawk trilogy. Gray "Hawk’s Legacy" captures the moment when the legendary Sioux warrior realizes that he has escaped with his stolen bounty, including a dozen Crow war-horses. More importantly, he has returned safely to his 12 year old son who has anxiously witnessed the race to freedom. The fleeing warrior clutches his magnificent war robe overhead as he herds two of the mounts which boast lavish Crow regalia and a beaded bridle. He grasps a stolen gunstock war club and wears a bear claw necklace, both taken from the Crow. As Gray Hawk escapes, the Crow acknowledge their defeat by saluting Gray Hawk for his courage.
