What is jockey on the grass?

Traz jockey is a small statue of a man who stretches to catch the horse. It can hold a metal ring or lantern and either stand upright in a slightly headed position with an outstretched arm. There are two different versions of grass jockey and are common ornaments in the leading yards of people. The size can be miniaturized, but the more common size is two to three feet (0.61-91 m) or higher.

There are two main lawn types. The display of jockeys can be either elegant men, usually white, in fine riding clothing. This is called the cavalier spirit of jockey. The second type, style of Jocko, shows a person in a slightly mixed position that is often an African American. In fact, the morning lawn of jockeys often had exaggerated African American features and instead of carrying riding clothes, these characters could carry them. Both types could be painted, but those representing African American characters were often painted in loud colors.

Although the initial use of the African American lawn Jokejov isUntil ugly and racist, jockey are associated with some important parts of black history in the US. Over the years when underground railways were existed, jockey lawns could be used to signal safe houses for people who escaped slavery. People could tie the green ribbons to the arm of the lawn to indicate safety and red to warn people not to stop. Although the representation of an African American man was a cartoon, it also helped to become a symbol of the fight for freedom. As a result of this dual history, people can watch Jocko Lawn Jockeys with mixed feelings.

Although the style of Jocko can still be purchased in some places, it is generally considered to be a bad taste. Instead, when people want a lawn for their lawn, they usually buy cavalier spiritual jockey, which gives up most racist signs. It is possible to buy Cavalier Spirit Jockeys from various locations in horticultural stores, some home stores and on many internet stripsánky.

Although many grassland jockeys have been painted in the first days, today some may prefer more fat lawn. It is possible to find non -painted statues, usually made of metal or concrete. There are several sculptures made of plastic, and they can be much cheaper, even if they can be a little harder to find. Like a pink flamingo, the jockey lawn is considered a unique piece of American. However, its origin is more confused by a very serious part of the American past.
