Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A welded metal sculpture consisting of a top section in the form of an abstracted bull’s head, mounted atop a single, bent steel pillar. The figural portion is composed of chrome or a chrome-plated metal and has six appendages emanating from a bisected shield shape. The two center appendages, forming the base of the head, are rectangular, mounted one over the other, and have a zig-zag welding marks. Above this base are two curved appendages, the horns, that extend from overhead and protrude forward. The bottom two appendages, representing the bull’s shoulders, extend out from the sides and curve downwards. The abstracted bull’s head is welded to a long, rectangular steel post. The post bends just below center where a second piece of rectangular steel intersects and extends forward to meet the floor just in front of the main post, which attaches to a square base.
