Smallest horse with rider has a perforation on the back just behind the rider. Rider of majestic horse has loss right proper left arm as shown. Wheels of pull toy missing; smallest horse and standalone rider are intact and very good. Each piece has light abrasions and nicks, softening to finer details, and very light encrustations. Wonderful patina throughout.
