Royal Crown Derby Bison Paperweight - North American Exclusive


The Bison is the symbolic animal of the Great Plains, and are formidable beasts with large sharp horns and thick shaggy coats. They are the heaviest land animals in North America. Designer John Ablitt drew his inspiration for the decoration of this handsome piece whilst visiting the Smithsonian Museum of American Indian Art in New York. He was amazed at the beautiful bead work and use of porcupine quills to adorn moccasins and leather work and has sensitively decorated our Bison as a homage to North American Indian Art and culture.
John has designed a beautiful Albino Bison
which was sacred to the Plains Indian Tribes and was often seen as a sign of great changes
in the world. To some tribes it was a blessing. Others believed it was a sign of peace, prosperity, unity and hope.

Modeled and designed by John Ablitt.
