Indian Hunter

Indian Hunter is a bronze sculpture showing a crouching Native American figure holding a bow and wearing animal skin garments. The work captures a hunting moment through classical sculpting methods and careful attention to detail.

The sculpture was created in 1917 by Paul Manship and originally commissioned by Herbert L. Pratt. It was later transferred to the Mead Art Museum and recast in 2001 as part of a limited edition.

The figure shows how artists of the early 20th century portrayed Native Americans through classical sculpting techniques. It presents a hunting scene that was typical of how artists approached the subject during that era.

The sculpture is located at the Museum of Fine Arts and can be viewed in an art gallery or exhibition space. Visitors should check the museum's hours ahead of time and confirm the sculpture's current location before planning a visit.

The original was commissioned as a single piece, but decades later a bronze casting was made for other museums. This later version allowed other institutions to acquire and display their own copy of the work.
