Description
Profile view of a life-like statue of a Samurai warrior in traditional battle gear on horseback.Photo taken at the LACMA Samurai: Japanese Armor exhibit from the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Collection.
This Samurai Collection is one of the finest and most comprehensive collections in the world, a treasure trove of battle gear made for high-ranking warriors and daimyo (provincial governors) of the 14th through 19th centuries.

I apologize for the poor quality of the photos but the lighting was very difficult to work with in the exhibit. Several more photos from this exhibit will be uploaded over the next few days. -- Sincerely, Lori

Nice photo! I saw the same exhibit twice when it came to the Portland Art Museum! I love how dynamic this set up is.

I had know idea that this exhibit had visited the Portland area. We have only had the exhibit here in Los Angeles for the last 6 weeks.

Reminds me of my Genghis Khan artwork! The fact that you photographed these from the angle you did makes them far easier to use in manipulations as you cannot tell they are mannequins. No having to play Frankenstein with a model's head.

The subject matter and its' pose is amazing.
The angle chosen for this photo captures the mystery (not showing the face) and the action of this statue.
Just captured my attention, can't stop looking at it
