Standing Bear, Finest US Lost Wax Bronze Indian Chief Sculpture By Carl Kauba

Description

Standing Bear (c. 1829–1908) was a Ponca chief and Native American civil rights leader who successfully argued in U.S. District Court in 1879 in Omaha that Native Americans are “persons within the meaning of the law” and have the right of habeas corpus, thus becoming the first Native American judicially granted civil rights under American law. His wife Susette Primeau (Primo), daughter of Lone Chief/Antoine Primeau, was also a signatory on the 1879 writ that initiated the famous court case.

This Historic statue of Chief Standing Bear is reproduced in the finest American bronze by the superior lost wax casting process, finished in multi-color patinas and then hand-rubbed to bring out the awesome details and highlights. The statue is then mounted on a fine black or green  marble base with an etched brass nameplate. This statue is  made to order specially for you, please allow 4-6 weeks for production and  delivery. Size: 15″H x 6″L.
