"Appomattox"
a Bronze Civil War Sculpture Allegory
by James Muir Bronze Allegorical Sculptor-Artist
“Appomattox”
16″H
edition 26
This sculpture commemorates General Robert E. Lee’s final surrender of Confederate forces to General U.S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia in 1865. The model 1841, .54 caliber rifle and Colt’s patent revolver were popular with soldiers on both sides during the “War of the Rebellion”. The sharp bayonets are at long-last sheathed and the waters of the two canteens-‘Rebel’ and ‘Union (U.S.)’-each nourishing the other, again flow together to form a mighty river of National unity. This also represents the “final surrender” of the individual self-will to the Divine Will; the sheathing of the sharp bayonets of body, mind, and emotions to no longer wage our own spiritual ‘War of Rebellion’. The waters of the two canteen-vessels of “Rebel (US)” and a now-greater ‘UNION’ each nourishing the other, again flow together to form a mighty river of Spiritual Unity. ‘Appomattox’ (18″ high) is an edition of 26 with each of the first 13 dedicated to one of the thirteen Confederate states. With only one state available of each.
