BRONZE DHOKRA DOKRA BASTAR HORSE RIDER WARRIOR LOST WAX SCULPTURE TRIBAL Bronze Dhokra Dokra Bastar Horse Rider Warrior Lost Wax Sculpture Tribal India Early 1900's Mounted rider on a horse with decorative patterning on the bodies of both, the rider with a turban or helmet and brandishing a sword. This swordsman riding is a popular theme in Bastar bronzes and examples from the mid 1800's to 1900's can be seen in various collections, but there does not seem to be any consensus on the identification of the rider - whether just a warrior or hero figure or a god or actual historical figure. Unmarked. Bastar tribes, Eastern India. Overall good condition - Areas of discolouration, casting flaws, wear
