Comanche Chief, Quanah Parker Life Size Composite Bust

Description: This life size composite bust of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker was purchased by the owner at a trading post in Oklahoma. The bust is a stunning and powerful tribute to one of the most iconic Native American leaders in history. Quanah Parker was a warrior, diplomat, and visionary who played a pivotal role in the history of the Comanche people, as well as in the broader history of the American West. Born in the early 1850s, Quannah Parker was the son of a Comanche chief and a captive white woman. He grew up in the traditional ways of his Native American people, but also spoke English and had close relationships with both Comanche and non-Comanche leaders. Throughout his life, he sought to bridge the divide between the cultures of his parents, and to advocate for the rights and wellbeing of his people. The composite bust captures Quanah Parker's fierce strength and his deep spiritual connection to the land and the natural world. The sculptor has rendered his face with intricate detail, from the lines etched into his forehead to the intensity of his gaze. The bust is near life size, standing 15 3/4" tall by 12" by 7", weighing close to 40 pounds. It's sheer presence commands attention and respect. The composite material used to create the bust is a testament to Quanah Parker's legacy as a bridge-builder between cultures. The material is a combination of traditional Native American materials, such as buffalo bone and sinew, and modern synthetic resins. The blending of these materials speaks to Quanah Parker's ability to find common ground between the old ways and the new. Overall, the composite bust of Quanah Parker is a fitting tribute to a man who was a true visionary and a powerful leader. It serves as a reminder of his legacy and his enduring impact on the history of the American West, and it inspires us to continue striving for justice, unity, and harmony between cultures. * * * * * * * * * Thank you for taking the time to view our listing.
