Pancho Villa - Tucson, Arizona - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

From Smithsonian:

"Pancho Villa sits atop a horse with each foot resting in a stirrup. He holds the reins with his proper right hand, pulling back to stop the horse. Villa has wavy hair and a mustache. He is dressed in a cowboy hat, a vest, a jacket, high boots and spurs. An artillery belt is slung around his waist. A rifle and coil of rope are attached to the saddle on the horse's proper right side. The horse raises his head and proper left front hoof in a stopping motion. The horse stands on a low sculpture base resembling uneven terrain. The sculpture is mounted on a rectangular base."
