To the Ends of the Earth and Sea

Another fascinating sculpture - this time a 5m tall bronze sculpture of Genghis Khan at Marble Arch in central London. It was unveiled in 2012 to celebrate the 850th anniversary of the birth of the man who created the Mongol Empire. He wears medieval Mongolian armour and dress, including golden plaques on the livery and plaited hair, and is seated on a fiery horse.

It was sculpted by artist Dashi Namdakov, who was born in a Siberian village, which was historically controlled by nomadic Mongol tribes.
