Art of Bronze is proud to offer “Appeal to the Great Spirit” (20” H.) bronze statue after Cyrus Dallin.  The Native man on horseback is wearing a feathered headdress, his head raised, and arms outstretched in a spiritual request to the Great Spirit.  The Native American has long braided hairs draping his chest.  He is wearing a loin cloth, moccasins and has a bear claw necklace.  It is believed that over 400 authorized sculptures were cast in three different sizes during Dallins’ lifetime.  The 20” version was in the permanent collection of the White House and was exhibited in Bill Clinton’s Oval Office.

Cyrus Edwin Dallin (1861- 1944) was an American sculptor who specialized in depicting Native Americans.  He created more than 260 works including many monumental works of art placed throughout the country.  In 1940, he did the equestrian statue of Paul Rever placed in front of the Old North Church in Boston.  His four prominent sculptures of indigenous people are A Signal of Pece (1890), The Medicine Man (1899), The Protest of the Sioux (1904) and Appeal to the Great Spirit (1908.)

In 1912, the Museum of Fine Art, Boston installed the 16 ft. monumental version “Appeal to the Great Spirt” at the Huntington Avenue Entrance.  The sculpture has become an icon of the MFA and one of the most reproduced objects in the collection.

Each bronze sculpture is cast in the ‘lost wax’ method and hand finished to capture excellent texture and detail throughout the entire sculpture.  Custom fit marble bases are attached to each sculpture.  A bronze plaque with etched lettering featuring the title of the sculpture and Remington’s name is available to attach to the front or backside of the marble base.
