About the Item

Powerful Pair of Cast Iron Sitting Bull Bookends, Attributed to Griffoul Foundry, circa 1917. This striking pair of vintage cast iron bookends pays homage to the iconic Lakota leader Sitting Bull. Rendered with impressive sculptural detail and a powerful sense of presence, these pieces are in good condition, patinated, extremely heavy (13.5 lbs. as a pair), and measure approximately 3"D x 5.25"W x 7"H. Each piece features a strong, finely modeled face framed by a dramatic feathered headdress, with rich aged patina enhancing the contours and depth of the iron. These bookends embody a classic Americana aesthetic with enduring historical resonance. A rare and characterful addition to any library, office, or collection of Western or folk art decor. #4954RM
