What an interesting statue.
The lighting and textures are great!

This is nice. Hard to pinpoint its origin but I'd say Turkey or the Balkans or something. Or maybe it's King George? ( see Christian's image from a few days back :) )

No idea about the origin but I'm pretty sure it's not greek. Love you lighting though!

The figure seems to be from West Africa. Burkina Fasso or around. Isn't it??

Beautiful! It looks like an Ashanti iron figure to me. Probably a representation of a European horseman. It's a wonderful piece--and shot.

Nice job! And a nice piece, sorry I don´t know anything about it.

So cool! It looks like he can pivot on the horse. Great shot but I have no clue ... I would say because of the pivot though that it is modern.

Fantastic light, colour and framing!
Great job!
Really sorry that I can't help you!
