Steven Lillegard (1955 - ). The War Chief. 22.5" x 18.5" x 7" bronze. Inscribed: STEVEN LILLEGARD 13/36. The War Chief was the recipient of the Goodey Indian Culture Award (Best piece of art depicting some aspect of Indian culture) at The National Western Art Show & Auction in 1985, the year it was first created. This piece depicts a Sioux leader charging headlong into battle. His war shirt exhibits locks of hair from members of his tribe, reminding him of the people he's fighting for. Feathers tied to his steed's mane and tail give it the flight of an Eagle, while each of the warrior's feathers give count to his acts of bravery
