Bronze Statue of a Mounted Crusader in Combat with a Saracen After T. Gechter
About the Item
A dramatic patinated bronze statue depicting a mounted crusader on his rearing horse ready to strike a mortal blow to a fallen Saracen lying beneath him on a rocky landscape. In a desperate attempt to defend himself the Saracen is shown thrusting his sword into the chest of the the crusader's horse. The bronze grouping is mounted on a green scagllola painted marble base with gilt bronze trim.
