Based in New Mexico, Ralph Roybal began his career at the Santa Fe Foundry and the Dell Weston Studio Foundry, and continued his passion for sculpture under the guidance of Ernest Berke (1921-2010). Like Berke, Roybal specializes in expressive Native American theme figural sculpture, but with his own distinctive polychrome patinas.

Good estate condition; some dust accretions to crevices.
