Resin sculptures, attributed to Russell D. Jorgensen

This set of three intricately detailed cold-cast resin or ceramic busts depicts Native American figures, each mounted on a wooden base featuring engraved brass plaques and petroglyph-style carvings. From left to right, the first figure wears an antler headdress and face paint, with the corresponding brass plaque on the base reading "MEDICINE MAN SEEKER OF VISIONS Russell D. Jorgensen". The central figure wears a prominent feathered war bonnet and holds a pipe, with a brass plaque reading "TRIBAL LEADER GUARDIAN OF THE HERITAGE Russell D. Jorgensen". The rightmost figure wears an animal-skin head covering with horns and holds a shield, with a brass plaque reading "KEEPER OF THE COUP Russell D. Jorgensen". The owner attributes these sculptures to artist Russel D. Jorgensen, noting a limited edition size of 1,250 pieces, an approximate weight of 16 pounds, and dimensions of roughly 21.5 inches in height, 9 inches in width, and 5 inches in depth; these user-supplied details remain unverified. The craftsmanship exhibits highly realistic painted textures, elaborate beadwork representations, and textured faux-leather and fur elements. Visible condition appears well-preserved with vibrant coloration and no glaring structural damage discernible from the photograph. The attribution to Russell D. Jorgensen is primarily supported by the legible text on the affixed brass nameplates on each wooden pedestal rather than direct maker's marks on the figures themselves.

Based on what I can see in the provided image, this set of three cold-cast resin busts exhibits a high level of intricate detail, vibrant coloration, and elaborate craftsmanship including faux-leather and fur elements, with wooden bases and engraved brass plaques. Per user submission, the pieces are attributed to Russell D. Jorgensen as part of a limited edition of 1,250 pieces, with stated dimensions and weights. However, I can't verify these specifications from a photograph alone. The attribution relies primarily on the legible text on the affixed brass nameplates rather than direct maker's marks, and physical inspection would be needed to confirm the exact materials, manufacturing techniques, and overall integrity. My value estimate of $450 to $750 assumes that the attribution to Russell D. Jorgensen is correct. Cold-cast resin sculptures of this scale and decorative nature generally appeal to specific collector niches interested in Western and Native American-themed art, though secondary market demand for contemporary decorative limited editions can fluctuate. If physical examination reveals that this set is a later reproduction, replica, copy, or produced 'in the style of' rather than an authorized piece from the attributed artist's limited run, the value would likely decrease significantly, falling into a lower decorative-art range of approximately $100 to $250. To further substantiate the current estimate and clarify attribution, an in-person examination by a qualified appraiser specializing in contemporary sculpture, along with documentation regarding the limited edition run, would be required.
