Wood Carved Cowboy by Dee Flagg
Cowboy with tan hat and bandana around his neck dressed in a vest and shirt with chaps and a belted sidearm holding a lariat. Figure measures 8 3/4"h x 3 1/2" wide on oval wood base. In Scottsdale and the Southwest, the name of Dee Flagg is synonymous with authentic life-size carved characters of the Old West such as Buffalo Bill and Wyatt Earp. He began carving intricate figures and Old West scenes from age 5, and in 1955, his work was first marketed by Atkinson's Indian Trading Center, then in downtown Phoenix and later in Scottsdale. His work has also been marketed by Knott's Berry Farm in California and is in the collections of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. He was a colorful character with handlebar mustache, often dressing like Buffalo Bill Cody, and he loved to walk the gallery district in that garb. He died in Scottsdale on April 23, 1999.
