High quality bronze 28kg "unknown rider" Buks Theron 1900'S

THIS IS TRULY A ONE OF A KIND ORIGINAL SOLID CAST BRONZE SCULPTURE. I HAD THE METAL TESTED AND IT IS 87% COPPER WHICH MAKES THIS A HIGH QUALITY BRONZE.

THERE IS NO MAKERS NAME ON THE BRONZE WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE ORIGIN ETC , HOWEVER THERE WAS A LOT OF INPUT FROM PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR SOUTH AFRICAN HISTORY ON WARS. THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE WAS THAT IT WAS A BUKS THERON WHO ALSO DID THE MALEOSKOP STATUE AND QUITE A FEW POLICE STATUES.

IT COULD BE A SOLDIER WEARING A UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA MILITARY 1910 PITH HELMET WHICH DEPICTS 1914 WW1 ERA.  IT COULD BE A 1900 BRITISH SOLDIER IN CEREMONIAL UNIFORM AND IT COULD BE A MEMBER OF THE BRITISH SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE FORCE IN RHODESIA. 

THIS BELONGED TO MY LATE FATHER  AND NOBODY IS SURE WHERE AND WHEN HE GOT IT. ITS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE , WELL MADE AND IS MOUNTED ON A MARBLE BASE. THE BASE HAS NO CHIPS ON IT AND THE SCULPTURE IS ALL INTACT.

SIZE: 53CM TALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BASE , 47CM TALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE HORSES FEET. LENGTH 42CM AND WIDTH 17CM.

WEIGHT 28 KILOGRAMS

SHIPPING: COLLECTION IS ALLOWED BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CAN NOT BE SENT VIA bob SHIPPING. FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PIECE I WOULD SUGGEST A WOODEN CRATE BE MADE AND SENT VIA COURIER, THIS IS FOR THE BUYERS EXPENSE.
