About the Item

"Chief Bull Aparoke" is a legendary work of art from renowned Arizona Native American artist, Bruce Law. Hand-carved from a solid trunk of a rough-hewn Ironwood tree, Chief Bull Aparoke's polished, deeply lined, life size face emerges to evoke the spirit of a stoic Indian Chief who has seen much hardship. Brass plaque beneath the face reads, "Chief Bull Aparoke Sculpture Bruce Law" and has a carved mark of two intersecting bent arrows. Measures: 16.5" high x 11" wide x 11 deep. Weighs 27 pounds. Bruce Law grew up in Phoenix, and now resides in New River, Arizona. Collectors of Bruce’s work include the honorable Barry Goldwater, The Museum at the Arizona State Capitol Building, The Arizona Historical Society, Scottsdale Historical Society, The City of Scottsdale, and the Erickson Foundation.
