“Ibex Hunter” by Rick Taylor
Golden eagles are found throughout the world. In Asia, the giant Steppe Eagle patrols the mountains picking off unweary marmots, foxes, sheep and ibex. On a recent trip to Iran, Rick witnessed an eagle dive three times at a lone ibex billy testing the animals vitality. But, this healthy billy would rise up on his hind leg and slash at the eagle. In the end, they both went their own way. This sculpture could be customized to reflect either Siberian ibex horns or Persian horns. Cast bronze mounted on a two tier fine walnut base, this piece is 21″ tall. Edition limited to 48. $4000. Includes shipping in US and Canada.
