The lot features an original hand carved folk-art wood sculpture showing a Black Americana cowboy riding a bucking bronco and dating to the 19th Century. The piece shows a solid walnut construction and is all hand carved. The piece comes from a long time western collector in Colorado who purchased the piece from Brian Lebel’s Old West Auction many years ago. The piece shows wonderful detail showing a cowboy wearing wooly chaps on a bucking bronco horse in mid-leap. The cowboy appears to be of African American Descent making this an excellent Black Americana piece. The carving is marked on the haunches "H R". The piece shows good condition overall and measures 15" long by 7" wide and 18" tall.
