Near UT campus longhorn

A bronze sculpture of a Texas longhorn steer, explicitly described by the Smithsonian's own Art Inventories Catalog record as "larger-than-life size," standing on a rock-and-grass mound with a bas-relief base depicting a historical longhorn trail drive. Created by sculptor Duke Sundt and cast by Santa Fe Bronze in 1983, the piece was presented to the University of Texas at Austin on September 24, 1983 as a Centennial Gift by the student service organizations the Silver Spurs and Texas Wranglers, honoring the longhorn's role in Texas history, culture, and economy. It stands on the Little Campus between John W. Hargis Hall and the Erwin Center. Distinct from the separately-tracked bronze Texas Longhorn Breeders Association sculpture in Fort Worth.
