“Under Asian Skies” by Rick Taylor

The largest wild sheep in the world live in western Mongolia.  A trip to the Altai mountains is a step back in time where the traditional people live much the same as they did a thousand years ago.  They are accomplished horsemen partly due to their horses, which, although small in stature, are strong and determined .  These horses are descendants of the line that allowed Genghis Khan to conquer the world.   Here one also finds the wild ibex, that spectacular mountaineer of the crags.  “Under Asian Skies” is a limited edition cast bronze sculpture which reflects Rick’s love of Mongolia, its people and wildlife. The success of this substantial work is due to the attention to details such as the saddlery, costuming and cargo. Also, to honor Mongolia and its citizens, Rick installed a larger than life-size monument of the mighty  Argali sheep  in front of the Natural History Museum, in Mongolia’s capital city, Ulanbaatar. “Under Asian Skies” is 25 inches long. The edition is limited to 36. $25,000. USD includes shipping in US and Canada.THIS EDITION IS SOLD OUT
