Like Indian Hunter and His Dog, another Manship sculpture in the M's collection, Time and the Fates Sundial is a bronze study meant for a private collection. It depicts the three Fates of classical mythology weaving the thread of life from youth to old age. The two weavers are beautiful and stoic, surmounted by leaves from the Tree of Life. The third Fate, sitting slumped below barren branches, cuts the thread under the watch of a raven, a symbol of death. The Minnesota Museum of American Art owns over 360 works by Paul Manship, one of the two best collections of Manship’s work in the world, bequeathed to the museum upon the artist’s death in 1966. The other is in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C.

Manship Rights Statement In Copyright Notes Include any additional information pertaining to the object. Advertised as the "world's largest sundial," the original forty-eight foot high sculpture was situated on Constitution Mall in New York City during the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair. The sundial was commissioned specifically for the fair. It was made of staff, a type of plaster, and was later destroyed. In addition to this study, Manship created a smaller bronze version in 1939 that is now in the Brookgreen Garden's collection of figurative sculpture in South Carolina. Publications Riddle, Mason.
