Catalogue Note
Edwin Murtha describes Salome as "a striking example of Manship's early decorative style. Its high finish is outstanding even among other jewel-like bronzes he did at the same time. His Salome is as fully achieved an interpretation of the subject as has been made. What might be an excess of fine detail on another work is entirely suitable to the barbaric opulence of this theme" (Paul Manship, p. 157).
