"Chief 4's Of 8's"
The Great Cheyenne
7'x32"x6"about 200 lb. $7500
Plus packing/crating/shipping/ins. I got a quote of $1200 Tucson to Austin, and will get your
locale info to requote.
My vision started with a search for a door, and I wanted to use big parts that I brought from Colorado to Tucson. The door came thru the Universe, the full size warrior came thru inspiration. There are plenty instances of 4's and 8's throughout. It has a real heavy duty hanging wire on back, and has side legs so it can be freestanding. Severe weight in size and metaphor!
