Concrete Lawn Jockey Black Americana

Black Americana - Concrete Lawn Jockey. Take home a piece of history! Most folks are unaware of the furtive and noble role these Jockos played in the first half of the 19th Century. These statues were used as markers on the Underground Railroad throughout the South into Canada. Green ribbons were tied to the arms of the statue to indicate safety; red ribbons meant to keep going.

These figures, which were sometimes used in a clandestine nature, and sometimes without the knowledge of the person who owned the statue, was a positive and supportive image to African-Americans on the road to freedom. Sometimes a flag was put into the hand of the statue to indicate safety.

Its because of this role that jockeys or their precursors, the groomsmen, which were dressed in slaves clothinghave become sought-after collectibles. CONDITION : believed to be original paint and condition.
