    Nice piece.It looks like a cast stone product to me.From a quick read Lyon does work in actual bronze & other welded metals,and far as original chiseled stone-not sure.
    All artist have to sell 'multiples' (limited edition/open edition castings) to feed themselves.Can you find a number anywhere on the piece ?

    Cast stone can be quite heavy,of course so can sculpted soapstone.Where the scythe wraps into the body looks somewhat cast to me.

    yes could be soapstone, just puzzled that I can't find anything similar to this by him. It could be one of I think so hard to value.
