Made this quilt in honor of my beloved hometown. Happy to be a Native. Depicted on upper right is Cyrus Dallin's "Appeal to the Great Spirit", the last of 4 bronze equestrian sculptures from his "The Epic of the Indian" series. The sculpture was cast in 1909 in Paris and won a gold medal for its exhibition in the Paris Salon. There are 3 full sized casts of the sculpture: One in Muncie, Indiana, One in Tulsa's Woodward Park and One in front of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
BTW: Current Chihuly Exhibit at MFA Boston: Fantastic!
