Description

Bronze statue of a prancing horse, as in the coat of arms of Lower Saxony.
The horse is a repetition of the horse of the Lion Fighter at the Altes Museum in Berlin, by Albert Wolff. Wikipedia's Liste von Denkmälern in Hannover gives Friedrich Wilhelm Wolff as the scuptor, which is probably erroneous (Albert and Wilhelm seem to be not related).
