The plaque shows the male leading the oxen drawn wagon and his wife holding the reins of the wagon. The bright sun is in the foreground and is shinning over the western high plains. James E, Fraser is best known for the sculpture of "The End of the Trail" bronze as well as the buffalo nickel. The plaque is signed on the bottom "JE&LG Fraser Sculptors". No foundry marks, measures 16 1/2 inches in diameter and weighs 9 pounds. This subject matter was also used for a 1930 U.S. mint commemorative coin.
