Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a group of four horse-mounted figures arranged in a linear fashion. The figures appear to be engaged in some sort of activity, each holding weapons or tools. One of the figures wears a prominent headgear resembling a feathered headdress, while others have head coverings that suggest helmets or similar gear. The horses are sculpted in a stance suggesting motion, with raised legs indicating movement. The sculpture is rendered with a single color tone that resembles aged stone or metal, possibly bronze or a similar material. This artwork is likely intended to be viewed from the side, revealing the details of the figures, their attire, and the horses. The composition is mounted on a flat base.
