Attributed to Ray Growler — Longhorn Goat Sculpture, Wool, Leather & Horn, ca. 1990s
Charming mixed-media animal sculpture attributed to Ray Growler (American, Navajo, b. 1965), depicting a longhorn goat rendered with a thick, curly cream wool coat over a sculpted frame. The figure features natural horns and hand-cut leather ears, elements characteristic of Growler’s inventive folk art style. Known for his tactile animal forms, Growler transforms humble, organic materials into works that exude both humor and reverence for Southwestern ranch life.
Comparable to Growler’s Billy Goat (ca. 1990) in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, this piece embodies the same whimsical presence and handcrafted authenticity that have made his work highly sought after among collectors of Native American folk sculpture.
Condition:
Good overall. Minor wear to the right leather ear; tail absent as shown. The fur remains soft and full, with light age toning in areas. Horns and frame are stable, and the piece displays attractively with excellent sculptural form.
Dimensions:
Overall: 22" H × 18" L × 11.5" D
Weight: 6 lbs 10 oz
