Bronze Statue of Armed Horse Rider

found this one, lists as 'arab muslim bedouin warrior horseman'.

another, 'arab huntsman' from 3 sites, the middle shows a silver colored version behind the bronze. last is possibly the source inspiration, 'arab horseman' attributed to artist - Antoine-Louis Barye (1796-1875).

seems to be a popular motif and well copied..

another 'arab horseman' attributed to barye, a coloured in version

shows the weapons a bit better. i note this & the last post's bronze barye version is VERY much like the original poster's one, even the small terrain mound on the base & the 's' shaped pommel on his right-hand blade....

i suspect the mold was used more than once..

(i give up now, enough of a good thing is too much, so i won't show the silver gilt version i also found)
