This is an original, large bronze sculpture of the prominent Shoshone leader, “Washakie” by the late, great artist Peter Fillerup (American, 1953-2016). Washakie (1804/1810-1900) was an important Shoshone Chief during the mid-1800’s. In 1851, at the urging of trapper Jim Bridger, Washakie led a band of Shoshones to the council meetings of the Treaty of Fort Laramie, being considered the leader of the Eastern Shoshones. The bronze is a very large size measuring 31-inches in height and __ pounds in weight. The bronze is signed, “Peter Fillerup 1999 3/20”. The bronze shows Washakie, the War Chief in full regalia wearing a feathered headdress trailing down his entire back to the ground while holding a war lance spear and “T” smoking pipe as well as a buffalo / bison skull at his feet. Peter M. Fillerup (September 4, 1953 - August 2016) was an American sculptor from Cody, Wyoming. He was trained by Utah sculptor Avard Fairbanks. He designed a sculpture of Porter Rockwell, who served on the Council of Fifty, as well as lighting fixtures for 20 LDS temples, including the Payson Utah Temple and the Lima Peru Temple.
