Sculpture discovery

Once again I find amazing art stuffed into every corner, this time a gem of Art Nouveau sculpture.


  This is in the corner of a church parking lot. Not sure what the connection could be but there it is. It's dated 1914 - 1918 and the title is Den Deutschen Luftschiffern. A German friend says it refers to not only the German airforce but the Zeppelin section of the airforce. Yet another reason to like it. I thought it might have been a parachute he was working on, perhaps Zeppelin fabric? Its signed V. H. Seifert, which appears to be Victor Heinrich Seifert.
