This is a 1993 Prix de West bronze medal created by the artist Sandy Scott. The medal is designed in the form of an animal head, specifically an eagle, executed in a patinated bronze finish.
It is suspended from a green fabric ribbon intended for wearing around the neck. Sandy Scott is an American sculptor and artist born in 1943 who became known for her work depicting domestic and wild animals. This medal exemplifies her focus on animal sculpture, a practice she began in 1982 after a career in animation, portraiture, and etching. The piece measures 21 1/4 inches in total length including the attached ribbon.
As a sculptural commemorative object, it represents the intersection of fine art and competitive recognition within the American Southwest artistic community. The medal displays a high level of detail consistent with the artist's known expertise in capturing wildlife subjects through three-dimensional casting techniques.
