DONATION: Another one of Frank Entsminger’s wildlife sculptures in bronze titled “Critters of the Crags” depicts two mature male Siberian ibex from Mongolia. The title of this piece indicates the rugged mountains of where the ibex live. Frank has made several trips to Mongolia hunting ibex, sheep and birds. After one of his trips, he decided to bring the entire skeleton of an ibex home to use in his work. He made a miniature skeleton one-fifth the size of life with all the working joints in the legs. Then he moved the miniature skeleton to the position he wanted to sculpt. From there, he sculpted the muscles onto the skeleton. He found this so accurate, enabling him to work a piece with ease. This piece has a colored patina & mounted on a beautiful walnut base with a swivel.
• Size with walnut base: 40″ tall by 20″
• wide by 14 1/2 deep.
• Weighs a little over 100 pounds
VALUE: $19,500
