| Commentary |
"The quality of the cast and the appearance of the Thiebaut Freres stamp suggest that the sculpture may be one of several early bronzes of the subject produced ca. 1898, while Proctor was still in Paris... Inscribed on the underside of the base is the number "9060", and this may refer to either an order or a subject number that has some correlation to the foundry records. ..the two ends of the spear...screw into the hand of the Indian."
