6" by 8 5/8". John Baier did this casting for Great Falls Iron Works in 1927. The Artist was Eric Schotz, a Heidelberg graduate who came to the US After WWI. Only 6 of these were made in bronze, and they were given to the Pallbearers of Charlie Russell. We believe this to be one of the original 6 that were cast and handed out - making this item extremely historical and important for any Charles Russell collector. Provenance: Ex Joyce Clarke Turvey Collection through decent.
