Notes
This unique sculpture was commissioned by Jozua Francois (Tom) Naudé (1889-1969) to serve as the floating trophy awarded for the best Afrikaner bull presented at the Pietersburg (now Polokwane) Agricultural Show during the 1950s.
Tom Naudé was a Member of Parliament for Pietersburg from 1920 to 1961. He served variously as cabinet minister (1950-1961), Speaker of the House of Assembly, President of the Senate (1962-1966) and finally as Acting State President (1967-1968).
