The stature of a centaur rearing up was located in the Dogpatch Arts Plaza at the end of 19th Street where it crosses Indiana Street. To the statue's left was a mural and to its right was a cafe. Behind it was handy seating for the weary tourist or the resting lunch eater.

The statue of the Centaur was created from welded metal, some of it painted, and some of it unpainted and rusted.

Its rear feet were attached to a round metal plate, and that plate was attached to a raised wooden platform. The tail rested on the metal plate but didn't appear attached to that plate.

The centaur's front legs were raised as if about to kick. Those legs were attached to a brightly painted torso.

The two arms of the Centaur hung by its side. The were created from bare metal, in contrast to the painted torso.

The face of the Centaur was made of bare metal. Hair, ears, nose, mouth and chin were all created from strips of bent and welded metal.

The back view of the haunch and tail of the Centaur sculpture, attached to a round metal plate, attached to a raised wooden platform.

The rump of the Centaur as its front body rose off the ground.

A view from the back of the Centaur's human top with its two hanging arms and long curly hair.

A closer view of the body showing its individual welds of strips of painted or rusted metal.

A closer view of the Centaur's left leg. Notice the armature of square tubing welded into an L to hold up the leg.

A closer view of the right front hoof. Note how the armature ends in a blob of welds just above the hoof.

A closer view of the left hand of the Centaur. Note how the fingers were made from bits of round steel tubing.

A closer view of the Centaur's face with a modern building behind it. Notice how a bent piece of metal can emulate a cheek bone. The pointed ears suggest the Centaur is not half man half horse, but rather half non-man half horse.
