Taft Richardson (September 2, 1943 – November 30, 2008) was an American folk artist who sculptured art images out of dried animal bones. Taft enjoyed creating sculptured images from bones like spiders, snakes and maps. He made an image of the continent of Africa out of tiny pieces of bone fragments. Taft often said that he did not just create art for just viewing but he also for spiritual and religious reasons. One of his famous pieces once stood at 82 in (2,100 mm) tall. It looked like a giant snake dressed in armor. He called it the King James version in the bible, "Abaddon".
