Amazone zu Pferde is an 1841 bronze equestrian statue by August Kiss, installed outside the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany. It was based on a smaller clay model which August Kiss first built in 1839.[1] Amazone zu Pferde stands opposite its companion statue, Löwenkämpfer.[2]
A bronze copy, cast in 1929, sits in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.[2] Zinc copies also exist in England, Italy, and elsewhere in Germany.[1]
