Here is an excellent condition sculpture made by the renowned sculptor Ron Tunison to commemorate the 135^th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. His cold cast edition of Confederate General Robert E. Lee mounted on his horse Traveler depicts a true to life scene that is rich with great detail and historical accuracy, two of the many trademarks of the sculptor. This cold cast edition is numbered 265 of the 300 hundred pieces crafted by Tunison in 1998. This classic cast statue of General Lee is autographed by the sculptor and is mounted on a large block of wood (9 3/4” x 8” x 1¾”) on the statue. Piece stands 13½” tall including the base, and is 11” at the widest. A classic statue of the Confederate general on Traveler on July 1, 1863.

Accompanied by a Collector’s Certificate, signed by the artist.
