Bison Copper Panel

Bison Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Western & Wildlife Wall Art

There were 60 million bison on the Great Plains. By 1889, there were 541. The bison is the greatest conservation comeback story in American history.

A copper wall panel of the bison — the massive humped shoulders, the shaggy coat, the powerful horns of the most iconic and most historically resonant large mammal in American history — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The massive shoulders and the shaggy coat are the composition: that enormous hump rendered in dimensional metalwork, the shaggy coat and powerful horns built up in fine relief, the settled authority of an animal that has been the center of the Great Plains world for ten thousand years. In Natural Copper or Brown Copper, the warm dark-brown tones echo the real animal. Every strand of the shaggy coat, every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.

The American Bison (Bison bison) is the largest land animal in North America — a bull can weigh 2,000 pounds and run 35 mph. For 10,000 years, the bison sustained the Plains peoples — the Lakota, Comanche, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, and dozens of other nations — providing food, clothing, shelter, tools, and spiritual life from a single animal. Between 1870 and 1889, commercial hunters reduced the population from 60 million to 541. Theodore Roosevelt and a small group of conservationists saved the species from extinction. In 2016, the bison was designated the National Mammal of the United States — the first animal to receive that designation. There are now approximately 500,000 bison in North America. The most powerful, most historically essential, and most triumphantly recovered large mammal in American history.

Complete the Look

A copper panel above your fireplace. The bison, larger, hump and horns spanning above the mantel. The most powerful and most historically resonant focal point in the North American mammal range — the National Mammal of the United States, at full scale in copper, above the fire.

Your ranch name in copper. Not a sign — a designed panel. Your ranch name hand-hammered in relief, with the bison as the central subject, in the same finish as the main panel. It goes at the ranch entrance or above the front door. Every person who arrives sees it first.

A living room or dining room panel. A coordinated Great Plains wildlife scene — a wolf, an eagle, a pronghorn — in the same finish as the bison. The Western home with a consistent visual language of the American prairie and the open land.

A Native American heritage or conservation-inspired space. The bison in a Plains Indian-inspired composition — the animal that sustained the Lakota, Comanche, Cheyenne, and Blackfoot for ten thousand years — in Natural Copper, above the main wall of the home that carries that tradition or that commitment.

If you're thinking about more than one piece: reach out before you order. We'll design everything together and give you project pricing for the full set.
