"Centurion"
is a show piece, just like its home carousel in Crescent Park, East Providence,
RI. From one of the most beautiful carousels in existence with an active
pose and sparkling jewels, it looks like a horse a Roman noble might have
ridden.
The gold eagle adds to the glitter of a horse already dripping in
gold trappings. It was nicknamed "Centurion" in honor of the 100th
anniversary of its home, originally built by Charles Looff in 1895.
