The lot features a stunning and large bronze sculpture called "Herd Bull" by Montana artist Sherry Sander circa 1998. The sculpture features a wonderfully and professionally crafted bronze construction that shows a herd of elk gathered on a rocky surface with the bull elk leading the the elk on forward. The bronze is marked on the back side of the base as follows: Sherry Sanders Signature - 98 - 28/35.

Sherry Salari Sander (born 1941 in Montana) is a distinguished American sculptor celebrated for her expressive wildlife bronzes, crafted in a style that blends observation with a loose, impressionistic touch. Working from her studio on a 300-acre wildlife preserve near Glacier National Park, Sander draws direct inspiration from native creatures, otters, deer, eagles, wood ducks, and bears, capturing their essence through dynamic form and sensitive patination.
