Prehistoric Hunter, Large Bronze By Kowalczewski (1865-1910)

Imposing bronze dating from the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century and representing a prehistoric hunter on the lookout.
It is a superb bronze with a nuanced brown patina and delicate chiseling.
This hunter from ancient times is treated in a remarkable way with a strong expression in the face and a majestic appearance. He contemplates the horizon with a piercing gaze and a hand on the forehead, seeming to watch for any probability of prey, one leg resting on a rock. Our copy stands out for its quality of execution and the care taken in its chiseling.
In addition, our copy is not only of superb quality but has retained all its weapons: we see a bow, a spear, a knife on the hunter's belt and other numerous utensils such as the horn or the necklace of teeth.
Not to mention the headdress made from a buffalo skin probably.
Look carefully at the photos and enlarge them, look at the chiseling work carried out on the animal skins, on the hunter's face, his hairiness, the detail of the weapons etc...our copy is also noticeable thanks to the quality of its two-tone marble base: red griotte marble and black marble of very fine workmanship.our bronze is signed Kowalczewski on the back of the rock.
