Juan Dell was born in 1933 in Texas and she became a sculptor in 1968. She specializes in Western subjects, creating sensitive portraits of Native American men and women. Her work is cast by the House Bronze foundry. This is a bronze of an Indian titled "Thunder Pipe" who must have been a Medicine Man with his pipe and horned headdress. The bronze has a brown patina, it is signed and numbered cast 6 of 50, it is mounted on the original walnut wood base. Her bronzes sell up in the thousands but we offer this one at a reasonable price.
