Cowboy Figurine Appraisal

Cowboy with Saddle Figurine

This item is a bronze or bronze-patinated resin sculpture depicting a standing cowboy or Western figure. The figure is shown in a dynamic pose, holding or preparing to place a saddle in his left arm while his right hand adjusts his wide-brimmed cowboy hat. He sports a distinctive mustache, a collared shirt with visible button details, a bandanna or scarf around his neck, and trousers with loose-fitting legs, possibly chaps given the Western theme. A holster or pouch appears to be attached to his right hip. The material exhibits a dark, somewhat mottled patina, suggestive of aged bronze or an intentional antique finish on resin. The base is an irregular, naturalistic form, simulating rocky or uneven terrain, and appears integrated with the figure. The overall size is substantial, likely suitable for a floor or large tabletop display. There are no immediately obvious significant condition issues such as cracks or chips, though minor scuffs or variations in the patina are visible, particularly around the base, which has some lighter areas suggesting wear or a slight loss of surface finish. The craftsmanship appears detailed, with attention given to the folds of clothing and the realistic depiction of the saddle and human form, indicating a mid-to-high quality production. The style points towards a portrayal of American Western history, possibly dating from the late 20th century to early 21st century given its likely material and finish characteristics. No clear maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the provided image.
