I previously posted these photos on another board.
This is a terracotta ceramic bust of the Bamberger Reiter, made by the German company Hertwig Katzhutte, probably in the 1930's. This statue, part of a larger medieval equestrian stone sculpture that resides in the Bamberg Cathedral, was allegedly a big influence on Himmler and the Nazis because of its Aryan features. They also thought the figure might represent an early Germanic king. It measures about 13 inches tall.
