Spratt" signature along with manufacturer markings and date. Bottom is finished with the original felt lining to protect surfaces.

Condition: Good condition, pre-owned vintage sculpture that has been well-maintained for age of piece. Does have 3 small chips (refer to photos).

During his starving artist days, James Killian Spratt sculpted the original horse head piece called "Flaming Mane" in just two hours in the middle of the night while worried about raising his young family. He would later cherish this popular work as his "gold record." In the 1970s AUSTIN PRODUCTIONS of New York, one of the largest museum reproduction companies, appointed Spratt as sculptor in residence, commissioning him to create countless original figurines and statutes for the mass market.
