TR Equestrian Statue - GOR-90716-12

Front view of Equestrian Statue of Theodore Roosevelt flanked by Native American Indian and African American. The bronze statue, by James Earle Fraser, is located in front of the American Museum of Natural History, New York City.

Roosevelt is depicted on horseback as both hunter and explorer. He is flanked by the figures of two guides, one Native American and one African, meant to symbolize the continents of America and Africa. The Native American figure is striding forward wearing a feather headdress, moccasins and a long sarong around his waist. The African figure is striding forward with a cloth draped over his proper right shoulder and a gun in his proper right hand. Roosevelt grasps the reins of his horse in his proper left hand and reaches back with his proper right hand as if to grab the gun which he wears in a holster around his waist.
