Meissen Art Nouveau Porcelain Group 'Indian Haunting A Buffalo', Hoesel, Germany

About the Item

Exquisite Large Meissen Art Nouveau Porcelain Group: Representation of a mounted warrior with a painted face, wearing only a small loincloth and moccasins on his feet, and crowned with a magnificent, overlong headdress with eagle feathers, clinging to the rearing horse, driving his lance into the back of the buffalo he is about to kill, which, under the horse's front hooves, thrusts its horns into the hunter's shield that has fallen to the ground. The group is supported from below by an elevation and is based on an oval prairie pedestal.
