The Medicine Man, Bronze sculpture in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, United States
The Medicine Man presents an indigenous healer mounted on horseback, wearing a feathered war bonnet and raising his arm in the air.
The Philadelphia Association for Public Art purchased this bronze statue for 6,000 dollars in 1899, following its exhibition at the Paris Salon.
Native American ethnologist Francis La Flesche spoke at the 1903 dedication ceremony, explaining the spiritual symbolism represented in the figure.
The 8-foot bronze statue stands on a granite base near Dauphin Street and 33rd Street in East Fairmount Park, Philadelphia.
This sculpture belongs to The Epic of the Indian series, which includes four equestrian statues created between 1890 and 1908 by Cyrus Edwin Dallin.
