Monument to Baron Napier of Magdala Cornelis

The monument to the horse born in Ceylon (now in Sri Lanka), also known as the "Island of a thousand names" and a British colony until 1948, was designed in 1891 by the Viennese sculptor Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm (1834 / 1890) and cast in bronze by British sculptor Sir Alfred Gilbert (1854/1934). The equestrian statue is placed on a granite pedestal. In his right hand, he holds a pair of binoculars and both feet are firmly in the stirrups.
