It was a unique treasure and was as real as a sculpture could be.
Each was a sculpture carved by artisans who passed down the skills and techniques from generations before.
The processes were quite complex and their works were made and sold by independent artists.
The black leather was placed over the carved form.
This black beauty is absolutely magnificent.
The expression, eyes, details and musculature are superb.
The leather has aged very well and looks absolutely marvelous with age in the right places (such as the saddle) to give the horse a very special appearance.
Still marvelous after a half a century.
A real treasure for collectors and decorators.
His color is black brown.
I believe that his eyes are glass.
He is finished with brass tacks on the bridle and brass stirrups.
He measures 7” tall x 9” long x 2 ½” wide.
He was from a family collection and is in excellent condition.
There are no tags or packaging.
