WESTERN BRONZE COWBOY GUN OUTLAW SCULPTURE STATUE ON MARBLE BASE FIGURINE FIGURE Description Condition: This sculpture is in perfect condition. Bronze Dimensions with Marble Base:Height 12&amp;quot; x Width 5&amp;quot;Marble Dimensions: 4 1/2&amp;quot; X 4 1/2&amp;quot;.Height without base: 11&amp;quot; Weight : 7 LBSInventory :63B3073836 This is a sculpture of a classic cowboy. He wears his cowboy hat and his handkerchief loosely tied around his neck. His jacket is long and hangs to his calves and his gun hangs right below his waist line in his handy holster. On his feet he wears boots which his jeans cover in between his legs is a bunch of wood that he walks over. In his hands he holds his rifle and looks off into the distance as if he heard something, he is a cowboy and is always on the look out. This is a beautifully detailed sculpture and depicts the way of cowboy life as it should be. This sculpture was cast using the &amp;quot;Lost Wax Method&amp;quot; and has a brown patina. He is mounted on a marble base and is signed by artist Milo. 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.

It shows the man in a primitive purity on top ofthe tangled mess symbolizing his dominance over both by riding theirbacks. It looks as though the man was riding bareback on the horsetrying to wrangle the buffalo only for all to collide into anexquisite piece of art. The strong buffalo bucks up onto his hind legstrying to rid himself of the unwanted weight. The horse is helplesslywrapped around the shoulders of the buffalo like a shawl.

Your bidding on a vintage bronze sculpture depicting the famous western gambler turned lawman, Wyatt Earp. I've owned it for about 25 years so it has a rich patina. Mounted on a 6&amp;quot; X 6&amp;quot; X 1 3/4&amp;quot; marble base, this sculpture stands 13 1/2 inches tall. The weight is approximately 11 pounds so be sure to check the shipping cost before bidding. There are no visible markings but by looking inside the head cavity, you can see the &amp;quot;lost wax&amp;quot; method was used to make the sculpture. This would make a great man cave gift for the western art enthusiast! I'm always happy to combine shipping, accept returns, and I do appreciate your bid! Thanks for looking at this no reserve auction and good luck!

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.

This wood carving captures the mood and motion of a couple in love enjoying their dance at a country dance some place out West, some time ago! The sculpture is app. 9 1/2 inches tall and is carved in wood (looks like walnut). He wears a western outfit with tie and cowboy boots, she a long dress fit for waltzing! The carving is signed by Helen Pelton, Laramie, Wyoming. It is not dated but I believe it dates from the 1930's or '40s. The one of a kind sculpture is in excellent condition and has no damage or repair. (The small, dark circle on her dress as shown in photo # 7 is a natural knot in the wood, not damage).

Hippocrates father of Western medicine ancient Greek physician alabaster Hippocrates of Cos or Hippokrates of Kos ( ca. 460 BC &amp;acirc;€“ ca. 370 BC) was an ancient Greek physician of the Age of Pericles (Classical Athens), and is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is referred to as the father of Western medicine in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields that it had traditionally been associated with (notably theurgy and philosophy), thus establishing medicine as a profession.However, the achievements of the writers of the Corpus, the practitioners of Hippocratic medicine, and the actions of Hippocrates himself are often commingled; thus very little is known about what Hippocrates actually thought, wrote, and did. Hippocrates is commonly portrayed as the paragon of the ancient physician, credited with coining the Hippocratic Oath, still relevant and in use today. He is also credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of clinical medicine, summing up the medical knowledge of previous schools, and prescribing practices for physicians through the Hippocratic Corpus and other works Original greek handicraft made of alabaster Shaped in a mould and refined by hand New item in original package height: 25 cm (9.8 inches)weight: 527 gr Alabaster is a stone, a translucent precious kind of marble, which in the form of very thin powder is mixed with resins and others components and offers a very smooth and delicate finish with fine details.
