Description

After a buffalo hunt, Indian women would locate the hunters to skin and butcher the meat. This sculpture shows an empty travois and the woman is on a rise in the prairie trying to locate the kill. Karen Hepp, Jay’s neighbor, was a young girl at the time he wanted to make this sculpture so she became his model.
