ON THE HUNT FOR THE PERFECT PIECE
We know what it is like to be on the hunt for your next favorite piece. Luckily, we found it for you. This vintage bolo crafted by the late Richard Vernon Greeves for the Prix de West Commemorative Collection features a cast bronze Tribal Chief on a braided horsehair cord with matching horsehair tassels. The perfect bolo for any guy or gal!
Richard Vernon Greeves (1935 - 2022) was active/lived in Wyoming, Missouri. Richard Greeves is known for Indian figure sculpture. A sculptor of monumental bronze Indian figures, Richard Greeves was born and grew up in an Italian neighborhood in St. Louis, where he lived, in his words, a Huck Finn childhood. Many of his neighbors were handy with tools, and they influenced his love of building and creating. At age 15, he met an Indian girl whom he visited on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, and later moved there, purchasing the local trading post, which became his home and studio. With one-third of an acre enclosed and 26-foot high ceilings, he has plenty of room to work. Greeves is the winner of the James Earle Fraser Award for Outstanding Artistic Merit at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in 2000, and his monuments to Chief Washakie and Crazy Horse reside in the gardens at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. For the courtyard of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, he sculpted a monument of Indian figures 1 and 1/2 times life-size.
