The Bowman and The Spearman, also known as Indians, are two bronze equestrian sculptures standing as gatekeepers at the intersection of Congress Drive and Michigan Avenue in Grant Park, Chicago, United States. The sculptures were made in Zagreb by Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović and installed at the entrance of the parkway in 1928. The pair of sculptures was funded by the Benjamin Ferguson Fund. An unusual aspect of the sculptures is that the figures in both sculptures are missing their weapons, the bow and arrow and the spear. Ivan Meštrović ( excuse (help·info)) (August 15, 1883 – January 16, 1962) was a Croatian sculptor and architect born in Vrpolje, Croatia (then Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, an autonomous kingdom within the Austro-Hungarian Empire). He is renowned as possibly the greatest sculptor of religious subject matter since the Renaissance, the first living person to have a one man show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
