Marwari Horse head – Marble Arch’s 6 Tonne Horse Head

Yesterday it was all about the Jelly Baby Family at Marble arch – not real jelly babies but the very cool sculpture by Italian pop artist Mauro Perucchetti. Standing tall and magestically, only a few meters away from London’s most colourful family is the 6 tonne, 27 feet tall, half inch thick, bronze Marwari Horse Head sculpture by Nic Fiddian-Green.

From what I can gather the giant horses head was unveiled on the 18th of June 2009 and was meant to stay there for 28 days. Here we are in September 2011 and it is still there. Maybe some pencil pusher has forgotten about a 27 feet tall, 6 tonne horses head located down at Marble Arch in London.

The Marwari horse of today are descended from the splendid war horses that have served the ruling families and warriors of feudal India. These magnificent looking horses have unusual twisted ears which are perfect for avoiding the desert winds and sands.

The 6 tonne Marwari horse head at Marble Arch is a stunning public art sculpture that is definitely worth checking out.
