- Lot Description
Featured in this lot is this chalkware sculpture called "Price of a Scalp," by American artist Bob Scriver born in 1914 and died in 1999. Chalkware sculptures were done by Scriver himself at his home foundry in Montana for only a few years with very few of them known to exhist. Robert "Bob" Mcafee Scriver (1914-1999) was born in Browning, Montana (in the heart of the Blackfoot Indian Reservation) in 1914. Scriver began sculpting using taxidermy to learn his craft of making wildlife bronzes. By 1962 he became a charter member of the Society of Animal Artists, had been accepted into the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America, listed in Who’s Who in American Art, and a member of the National Sculpture Society, and the National Academy of Western Art. The sculpture features a wonderfully and professionally crafted chalkware construction that shows two Native Americans doing battle one on horseback and is marked as follows: The Price of a Scalp - Bob Scriver - 1963. The condition of this chalkware sculpture is well preserved with some slight wear to the sculpture from age and a repair on the horses leg. The measurements of this sculpture is 14 3/4" x 13 1/2" x 11 1/2". The collective weight of this sculpture is 10lb 4oz.
