Steve Myers 'Flintknapper' Western Bronze Sculpture
Steve Myers (20th Century, New Mexico)

This limited edition bronze sculpture, entitled "Flintknapper" and numbered 9 out of 35, is a striking portrayal of a Native American engaged in the traditional craft of shaping flint. Created by renowned artist Steve Myers, the sculpture is a vivid representation of indigenous artistry and ancestral skill. The dynamic pose of the figure, captured mid-motion with a piece of flint held aloft, conveys a sense of focus and dexterity. The bronze medium is masterfully utilized, its color patination technique enhancing the lifelike quality of the texture and form, from the flowing hair to the meticulous beadwork. This piece is a testament to the enduring legacy of Native American culture and the time-honored practice of flintknapping.
