Description:

"STAMP ACT" CAST BRONZE STATUE
Well-executed and dramatic cast bronze statue, 25 1/2" tall, 10" x 7" at the base, depicting a striding American patriot, in a fur cape and wearing a "liberty"-style cap, grasping a curved shortsword in his right hand, and the American flag (with thirteen stars, of course) in his left. A pistol is thrust into his waist sash, and his foot is stamping down on the infamous "Stamp Act", which was seen as levying an unnecessary and restrictive tax on American paper goods. Behind him is the stump of the "tree of liberty" which stood on Boston Common and served as a rallying point for American patriots until British loyalists cut it down in 1775. The right arm was broken off at some point in the past, but has been professionally repaired with a bronze pin. Unsigned and unmarked, still very good.
