Offered for sale is this impressive vintage-style cast metal horse sculpture featuring an intricately detailed removable saddle, ornate decorative harness, and beaded reins.
This substantial piece measures approximately 11 inches long and weighs an estimated 5–6 pounds, giving it a very solid, heavy feel.
The horse features beautifully sculpted details throughout, including a flowing mane and tail, expressive facial features, elaborate saddle decorations, ornamental breastplate, and decorative reins.
One of the most interesting features is the removable saddle. The saddle fits snugly over an opening in the horse\'s back, revealing a deep, hollow interior extending down into the body. This unusual construction suggests the piece may have been designed as a decorative covered vessel or container, although its original purpose has not been confirmed.
The sculpture has an attractive aged brass/bronze-colored finish with areas of reddish copper tones, darker oxidation, and greenish patina, giving it a distinctive vintage appearance.
The design exhibits Asian-inspired decorative influences, possibly Indian or Chinese, although the exact country of origin and age are unknown.
