Mounted Figure Bronze Sculpture

This is a bronze sculpture depicting a mounted figure, likely a Native American, on horseback. The figure is clad in what appears to be traditional attire, including a prominent feathered headdress or fur cap, and holds a long spear or rifle. The horse is depicted in a natural, standing pose, with its bridle visible. The sculpture has a dark, possibly patinated, finish, giving it a classic and aged appearance. The details of both the rider and the horse, such as facial features, clothing folds, musculature, and mane/tail, suggest a good level of craftsmanship. The sculpture is mounted on a multi-tiered base, consisting of a textured, irregular plinth (possibly cast in bronze as part of the sculpture) which sits on a polished, dark stone base, and finally, this entire assembly is affixed to a rectangular wooden base, likely oak, with a visible grain lacquer finish. There is a small white tag attached to the horse's flank, indicating it is likely from an estate sale or shop. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage or repair, though the dark patina would naturally obscure minor wear. The sculpture evokes a Western or historical theme, common in 20th-century American bronze art.
