Hunters of the Spirit Collection, "The Provider" by Russ Docken. First issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1995. Plate size approx. 8 inches. Suggested Retail $60.00.
Long before the White Man knew of this land, there lived a legendary Indian warrior known as Many Arrows. His great heart was matched by a fiery pride and indominable spirit, and his skill was as a hunter of vast renown.
He looked upon the massive, shaggy bison as his noble brother, and he never failed to show undying gratitude to the Spirit of the Buffalo. For their willing deaths by his mighty spear of stone, sinew and oak meant life to his family.
Amid the surging thunder of the stampeding buffalo and the shattering detonations of lightning bolts from the tumultuous heavens, Many Arrows stands upon the mountain and gives thanks for his buffalo brother's ultimate sacrifice. His obsidian-black hair is swept by the furious winds as the storm-glowing skies gleam in his eyes and over the hammered copper of his powerful body. Here is truly a Man of Legend, unafraid to look his Gods in the eyes to praise them for their glory and bounty.
Artist Russ Docken vividly portrays the raw masculine essence of a great Indian warrior as he gives thanks amid a raging storm in this stunning first issue. "Provider."
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.
