Footsteps of the Brave -- "At Journey's End" by artist Harry Schaare -- Bradford Exchange 1993 -- Eighth and final plate in this series. Plate size is approx 8 inches. Suggested Retail $60.00
The sacred dance to the Great Bison Spirit lives in the memory of this young Blackfoot scout. Even now, the thunderous drums and exhilarating chants pulse through his blood. And it is the power of the ceremony which has guided and granted him the strength to complete his long journey.
In the eighth and final plate of the Footsteps of the Brave series, we are witness to the warrior's triumph when, at last, all of his efforts come to fruition. Wearing the bison-horned headdress and precious red buckskins, and bearing the shield of the powerful thunderbird, the young warrior has been sent by his tribe to seek not only the bison, but his own spiritual path as well.
For days, he has followed a trail along the edge of the sacred river, trusting his instincts to find the migrating herds. And now, after days of solitude, he has arrived
"At Journey's End." For although lie cannot see them yet, he can hear the thunder (reminiscent of the ceremonial drums) of a large herd just over the next rise. Now he fully understands how the mighty bison and his people are one, bound together in a living web of mutual aid and respect.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
