“Jim Corbett and the Champawat Tigress”

Celebrate the legend of Jim Corbett with this limited edition bronze sculpture by Montana artist Kasey A. Nixon, created exclusively for Rigby Art. One of only eight, this masterful piece captures Corbett in the climactic moment facing the infamous Champawat Tigress—a Bengal tiger forced into man-eating after injury, responsible for a staggering 436 human deaths across Nepal and India, the highest recorded for any animal in history. Corbett’s pursuit of the tigress in 1907 not only restored safety to the region but also led to him receiving the iconic .275 Rigby rifle, now in Rigby’s permanent collection. Nixon’s artistry honours Corbett’s dual legacy as a fearless hunter and pioneering conservationist, immortalising a pivotal chapter in wildlife history. A striking tribute for collectors and admirers of adventure, heritage and conservation.

Sculpture dimensions: 24″ x 8″ x 21″ (L x W x H).
