Bronze Tone Cowboy and Bucking Bronco Sculpture

This item is a detailed sculpture depicting a cowboy in the midst of a rodeo event, specifically riding a bucking bronco. The material appears to be a metal, likely bronze or a bronze-finished resin, judging by its dark, somewhat metallic sheen and the way light reflects off its surfaces. The overall color is a dark, almost black-bronze, with subtle variations that suggest depth and age. The cowboy figure is dynamically posed, leaning back with one arm outstretched, presumably holding a rope or strap, demonstrating the classic rodeo stance of balance and control. He is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, chaps, and what appear to be cowboy boots, all rendered with textural details. The bucking horse is captured mid-air, with its front legs kicked up and its head down, conveying intense movement and power. Details on the horse, such as its mane and muscle definition, are well-articulated. The entire dynamic scene is mounted on a multi-tiered base. The uppermost part of the base, directly beneath the horse's back legs and the cowboy's chaps, has a textured, possibly rocky or dirt-like finish, adding to the realism of the rodeo scene. This textured section is then affixed to a smooth, rectangular lower base, which appears to be made of a polished, dark stone or a similar material. A small, brass-colored plaque is visible on the front of this lower base, which likely displays the title of the piece, the artist's name, or a dedication. From the visible details, the craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with attention paid to the expressive poses and textural elements. There are no obvious signs of significant damage, wear, or repairs visible in the provided image; the piece seems to be in good, well-maintained condition. This style of sculpture, often depicting Western themes, was popular from the late 19th century through the 20th century and continues to be. The dark finish suggests it could be an older piece or a modern reproduction with an antique aesthetic.
