Alexander Phimister Proctor (September 27, 1860 – September 5, 1950) was an American sculptor with the contemporary reputation as one of the nation's foremost animaliers. His ability to capture animals in action, garnered in part from his days tracking them, coupled with his interest in all things Native American, opened a niche for Proctor, one that he parlayed into a long, successful career. The condition of this bronze is good with some slight patina adorning the bronze but otherwise shows good overall condition. The measurements of this bronze are 13 3/4" x 12 3/4" x 5 1/2".
