Bronze Sculpture of a Rhinoceros

A large bronze sculpture of a rhinoceros on a peak, with small birds sitting on its spine.

Theodore Roosevelt's taxidermist James Clark cast this bronze in 1912. It was a gift to Theodore Roosevelt from his younger sister Corinne. Family lore is that Edith Roosevelt did not care for the bronze and hung her gardening hat on the horn. She also encouraged the Roosevelt children to post phone messages on the tick birds on the back of the rhinoceros.
