Cast Metal Equestrian Advertising Sculpture Compliments of J.M. Erickson Chicago - A cast metal equestrian advertising display piece featuring a three-dimensional relief scene of a horse and rider in mid-jump over a rustic wooden fence. The figure is constructed of cast metal, likely white metal or pot metal, with a copper or bronze-toned surface plating. The sculpture is mounted on a square, tiered wooden base with a dark finish. The base of the metal casting includes an integral banner with embossed text. The top line reads COMPLIMENTS OF J M ERICKSON and the bottom line reads 1458 & 1515 E. CHICAGO AVE. The specific address indicates the item was produced as a promotional or commemorative gift for a Chicago, Illinois-based business. A circular opening is visible at the bottom center of the metal casting where it meets the wooden base, suggesting the piece may have originally functioned as a component of a larger object, such as a lamp or clock topper, before being mounted to the current base.
