Comes with it's original certificate of authenticity and is number 406. This piece was created in 1979. One of the bow ends is a little loose and would probably need to be taken to a professional to be restored but otherwise it is in perfect condition,  below is some information about the artist himself. Born in Los Angeles, Donald Polland became a sculptor of miniature cowboys and horses at a time when large size works of those themes were much more popular. His interest in horses was aroused when, at age 15, he became a stable boy on a thoroughbred horse farm. He was a jockey for two years and held other jobs including that of electrician, farmer, commercial artist and teacher. Don Polland, like the many characters he portrayed in his sculpture, was a pioneer. As early as 1959 he broke with tradition by executing his western sculpture in miniature scale (most of his designs are under 8" high), which made his work much more affordable, and certainly easier to display in the average home. In 1973, when Polland joined forces with The Lance Corporation, a new era in art of the American West began, as his work was now produced in fine pewter, as well as bronze. With well over 100 individual designs to his credit. Don has earned his place next to Remington, Russell and Fraser, and contemporary artists such as McCarthy and Beeler. Don Polland had invested over twenty five years of his life to an art form and a body of work that has integrity and permanence. He is a true American Original! This is a brilliant piece of art that would make a fine display in any home, whether you're a collector of Donald "Don" Polland already or if you are just getting started this is an admirable piece to own.
