About the Item

This exceptionally large and detailed bronze of a Bison is the work of one of the best artists of his time Carl Kauba (1865-1922). While unsigned it bears the mark "Gesch" which is the first half of the word "Geschuztzt", basically means patented in German. Note the eyes and face of this fabulous animal. We are always on the hunt for antique bison, not an easy subject matter to find, especially nice examples. A rare and super find.
