This western-type fellow was hand carved by me out of a solid piece of cottonwood bark that has a beautiful &amp;quot;grain&amp;quot; and a wonderful orangish-brown color. He comes equipped with a black sideways cowboy hat and a red bandana. There's a nice circular pattern in the bark on the front of the hat, and there are a few areas where the outer bark was left that gives it a rustic look. The piece was painted with acrylics, sprayed with polyurethane, and brown wood wax was added for an antique look and a soft sheen. This guy is flat on the back and there is a hole carved into the back for hanging on a nail. My name and the new year are burned into the back. 10&amp;quot; long This is an original hand carved piece - there isn't another one like it! Check out my other items!! I'm happy to combine items when shipping to save money - the only thing that adds extra cost is additional weight. I almost always ship the day of or the day after payment, but it may take up to two days in rare instances. International bidders are responsible for all customs and other fees beyond the initial shipping cost. Feel free to ask if you have questions about shipping costs. I ship using the United States Postal Service (USPS) First Class or Priority. Unfortunately, the postal service does not offer the option of adding insurance when shipping First Class. I package all carvings very carefully and none have ever been damaged during shipment. I carve out of my studio located in central Minnesota, using quality northern Minnesota basswood, black walnut or butternut, along with pine knots, cottonwood bark from various locations and other woods. I also sometimes use material such as stone, antler and tagua nuts. I carve a variety of subjects, so please watch for my auctions &amp;acirc; you may find just what you&amp;acirc;re looking for. Thank you for your interest! Joan

His body is carefully crafted in abrown patina, exposing his muscular frame. His stomach is especiallywell-defined. His abdomen is cut and his hips curve outwards. Hisshoulders are broad and his long arms incredibly muscular. The cuts ofevery muscle in his body can be traced with the tip of a finger. Hecarries a strap on his strong shoulder and extends it downwards,diagonally across his back to the clutched palm in his other hand. Themost stunning characteristic of this well-crafted angel is his wings.In a green patina, his extensive wings tuck behind him and reach downto his calves. The inside of his wings are well-detailed from thesmall feathers at the top of the arch to the longer feathers towardsthe bottom. 100% bronze and handmade, this sculpture was cast usingthe &amp;amp;ldquo;Lost Wax Method&amp;amp;rdquo; and is mounted on a black marble base. Thissculpture is signed by the artist Michelangelo.Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni[1] (6 March 1475 &amp;amp;ndash; 18February 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an ItalianRenaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer. Despitemaking few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplineshe took up was of such a high order that he is often considered acontender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along withhis rival and fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci. Michelangelo's outputin every field during his long life was prodigious; when the sheervolume of correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences that survive isalso taken into account; he is the best-documented artist of the 16thcentury. Two of his best-known works, the Piet&amp;Atilde;&amp;nbsp; and David, weresculpted before he turned thirty. Despite his low opinion of painting,Michelangelo also created two of the most influential works in frescoin the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceilingand The Last Judgment on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapelin Rome.As an architect, Michelangelo pioneered the Mannerist style at theLaurentian Library. At 74 he succeeded Antonio da Sangallo the Youngeras the architect of Saint Peter's Basilica. Michelangelo transformedthe plan, the western end being finished to Michelangelo's design, thedome being completed after his death with some modification. Condition: This sculpture is in very good condition. Bronze Dimensions with Marble Base:Height 15 1/2&amp;quot; x Width 5&amp;quot;Marble Dimensions: Diameter 5&amp;quot; X 5&amp;quot;.Height without base: 14 1/2&amp;quot; Weight : 12 LBS Inventory : 2345B355B32 The Art of Lost Wax Lost wax casting has been around for thousands of years, yet few people understand how the process actually works. Although mechanization has facilitated the lost wax process of bronze casting, the procedure is basically the same as that used by the Chinese when they first developed the process in the 2nd millennium BC. The Rubber Mold First the artist creates an original sculpture out of any number of media, including stone, wax, clay, wood and pottery. This image is coated with a silicone rubber molding material that makes two rubber mold halves (each rubber mold has a front and a back piece). A fiberglass outer shell is added to the back of each mold so it retains its shape and rigidity during subsequent uses. These molds are the only components that are ever re-used in the casting process. All other components are re-created for each casting. The Wax Positive Once the molds are done, the insides are coated with layers of wax. The halves are then bound together and wax poured inside to complete the wax image being created. Once the wax has cooled, the mold is peeled away, yielding a wax image (the wax positive&amp;quot;) duplicating the original sculpture. This image must then be &amp;quot;touched -up&amp;quot; to remove any seam lines, scratches or other flaws, as well as to recreate any pattern or texturing that was lost or damaged when the wax was made. The quality of the finished bronze relies on a clean, high quality mold and an impeccably recreated wax image that is as near to perfect as possible. Gating The next step, &amp;quot;gating&amp;quot;, is the application of a series of tubes and funnels that allow the molten bronze to flow through to the bottom of the ceramic shell and the hot gases to escape at the same time. These sprus are created by attaching wax rods to the finished wax form at strategically spaced locations. Ceramic Shell Casting After the gating is completed each wax form is dipped in a liquid ceramic silica-sand compound so it is completely coated inside and out. Holes called &amp;quot;patches&amp;quot; have been cut into the wax to allow an entrance to the inside of the form. The form is subsequently dipped 6 to 12 or more times over a period of several days until the desired shell thickness is achieved. Lost Wax Once these ceramic shells have dried thoroughly the pieces are placed into an autoclave and the wax is melted out (hence the term &amp;quot;lost wax&amp;quot;), to be reclaimed and used again. The shells are then cured in a kiln so they will withstand the temperature of the molten bronze being poured into them. The Pour Bronze ingots are melted to a temperature of approximately 2000&amp;Acirc;&amp;deg;F and poured into the cured ceramic shells. As the sculpture cools the ceramic shell begins to pop away from the bronze. This shell will be completely broken away, using a hammer and chisel, before the superfluous metal materials are cut away. Sandblasting The casting is then sandblasted in preparation for metal finishing. Any pieces of a sculpture that were cast separately are welded back onto the sculpture and any seam lines or other imperfections are removed or &amp;quot;chased&amp;quot;. Texturing Finally, any texturing that was lost or damaged in the casting or welding process is recreated. The sculpture is then polished in preparation for application of the patina. Patinas The different colored finishes that are possible on cast bronze sculptures are called patina's. The various colors, patterns and textures obtained in the patina process are achieved through a combined application of chemicals and heat, augmented by hand stippling, or spraying with an air brush, and sealed with lacquer and waxes. Limited Editions Most bronzes are part of a &amp;quot;limited edition&amp;quot; containing a fixed number of castings. This edition number is decided by the artist, usually after the first piece has been cast, and individually stamped on each piece (i.e. 1/100) thus concluding the process of bronze sculpture production.

Signed Original Native Sherman American Indian Chanting Bronze Sculpture Western Description Condition: This sculpture is in perfect condition. Bronze Dimensions with Marble Base:Height 11&amp;quot; x Width 8&amp;quot;Marble Dimensions: 8&amp;quot; X 6&amp;quot;Height without base: 10&amp;quot; Weight :15 LBSInventory : 41Y3554614 The shaman Native American Indian sits indian-style, chanting prayers, banging on a small hand drum, in hopes of communicating with the spirit world. Shamanism encompasses the belief that shamans are intermediaries or messengers between the human world and the spirit worlds. Shamans are said to treat ailments and illness by mending the soul. Alleviating traumas affecting the spirit restores the physical body of the individual to balance and wholeness.The texture of the sculpture seems to capture the medicine man in an interval dimension between the earth and that of the spirit world; as though a certain mysterious vibration has taken hold of him, blurring the distinction of the lines of his body. The handmade bronze sculpture was molded using the archaic method of lost-wax casting and stained with a brown patina finish for preservation. It is mounted upon a black marble base with the artist Milo's signature. The artist Milo lived most of his childhood in Andalusia, Spain. Influenced by an artistic family background, he began sculpting at the age of seventeen. After apprenticing with several accomplished sculptors both in America and Spain, he began his own work focusing equally on steel and bronze.

The Art of Lost Wax Lost wax casting has been around for thousands of years, yet few people understand how the process actually works. Although mechanization has facilitated the lost wax process of bronze casting, the procedure is basically the same as that used by the Chinese when they first developed the process in the 2nd millennium BC. The Rubber Mold First the artist creates an original sculpture out of any number of media, including stone, wax, clay, wood and pottery. This image is coated with a silicone rubber molding material that makes two rubber mold halves (each rubber mold has a front and a back piece). A fiberglass outer shell is added to the back of each mold so it retains its shape and rigidity during subsequent uses. These molds are the only components that are ever re-used in the casting process. All other components are re-created for each casting. The Wax Positive Once the molds are done, the insides are coated with layers of wax. The halves are then bound together and wax poured inside to complete the wax image being created. Once the wax has cooled, the mold is peeled away, yielding a wax image (the wax positive&amp;quot;) duplicating the original sculpture. This image must then be &amp;quot;touched -up&amp;quot; to remove any seam lines, scratches or other flaws, as well as to recreate any pattern or texturing that was lost or damaged when the wax was made. The quality of the finished bronze relies on a clean, high quality mold and an impeccably recreated wax image that is as near to perfect as possible. Gating The next step, &amp;quot;gating&amp;quot;, is the application of a series of tubes and funnels that allow the molten bronze to flow through to the bottom of the ceramic shell and the hot gases to escape at the same time. These sprus are created by attaching wax rods to the finished wax form at strategically spaced locations. Ceramic Shell Casting After the gating is completed each wax form is dipped in a liquid ceramic silica-sand compound so it is completely coated inside and out. Holes called &amp;quot;patches&amp;quot; have been cut into the wax to allow an entrance to the inside of the form. The form is subsequently dipped 6 to 12 or more times over a period of several days until the desired shell thickness is achieved. Lost Wax Once these ceramic shells have dried thoroughly the pieces are placed into an autoclave and the wax is melted out (hence the term &amp;quot;lost wax&amp;quot;), to be reclaimed and used again. The shells are then cured in a kiln so they will withstand the temperature of the molten bronze being poured into them. The Pour Bronze ingots are melted to a temperature of approximately 2000&amp;Atilde;&amp;macr;&amp;Acirc;&amp;iquest;&amp;Acirc;&amp;frac12;F and poured into the cured ceramic shells. As the sculpture cools the ceramic shell begins to pop away from the bronze. This shell will be completely broken away, using a hammer and chisel, before the superfluous metal materials are cut away. Sandblasting The casting is then sandblasted in preparation for metal finishing. Any pieces of a sculpture that were cast separately are welded back onto the sculpture and any seam lines or other imperfections are removed or &amp;quot;chased&amp;quot;. Texturing Finally, any texturing that was lost or damaged in the casting or welding process is recreated. The sculpture is then polished in preparation for application of the patina. Patinas The different colored finishes that are possible on cast bronze sculptures are called patina's. The various colors, patterns and textures obtained in the patina process are achieved through a combined application of chemicals and heat, augmented by hand stippling, or spraying with an air brush, and sealed with lacquer and waxes. Limited Editions Most bronzes are part of a &amp;quot;limited edition&amp;quot; containing a fixed number of castings. This edition number is decided by the artist, usually after the first piece has been cast, and individually stamped on each piece (i.e. 1/100) thus concluding the process of bronze sculpture production.
