Also known as The Triumph, Remington's fourth bronze, The Scalp, is the artist's first sculptural depiction of an Indian subject. In the work Remington has rendered a Sioux warrior in a dignified and victorious pose, heroically placed atop a horse that is in mid-stride, coming to an energetic halt.

The present work is one of only eleven sand castings which were completed by the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Co. before Remington chose to work exclusively with the lost-wax method cast at the Roman Bronze Works. This example was a circulating trophy presented annually by the The Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac to the Brooklyn public school with the best sports record.
