This lifelike bust of a Labrador Retriever is by artist Bradford Williams for Montana’s Big Sky Carvers. It absolutely captures the nature of these retrievers, which (having owned several retrievers) I think of as the dog world’s best utility players–friendly, intelligent, four-square enthusiastic, and full of energy for a full day in the field. The bust morphs into a square base with a brass plaque with the title and artist. I don’t know what material this is made from–cast stone perhaps, with a lovely bronze patina that absolutely gleams in the sunlight off of the Lab’s characteristic short, sleek coat. It is certainly heavy enough to use as a paperweight, but why put it to such prosaic use? This bust stands 6 inches tall, and the base measures 4 inches wide by 3 3/4 inches deep. It appears to be in wonderful condition from top to bottom. A lovely gift for the Lab owner in your orbit, or as a tribute to your favorite hunting dog or family pet.
