This is hand made of bonded stone in the USA. Take 3-4 weeks for production of this horse and Jockey. This horse and jockey statue is located in the National Museum in Athens, and it is said that no other statue there gets photographed as much as the bronze horse statue.It remains a mystery as to the origin of the bronze horse statue and where it was being taken to when the ship sank. It is thought to come for Greece and was cast in bronze around the second century BC.One thing is certain about the horse and jockey statue it is not a static statue. It is alive with movement and every muscle of the horse and horse jockey is straining toward that ultimate goal of winning.The horse statue and the horse jockey were found separated on the bottom of the sea, but after each piece were brought to the surface, it was a perfect fit when the horse jockey was remounted on top of the horse statue.This horse and jockey statue is the perfect gift for a horse jockey.This reproduction is made of bonded stone mounted to a marble base.
