Bison Baculum on vertebrae
37" x 4" x 5'
bronze 2013
This piece was molded from the penis of a bison bull in the herd on our ranch. These bronzes of his bones honor his sacrifice and pay tribute to this magnificent animal. The piece sits upright on two bronze vertebrae pieces. In many ancient cultures this symbol was used in Art to represent power and strength, but the piece itself has an aesthetic quality of its own.
