Description
A fragment of rural history preserved as sculpture, this hand-carved wooden horse head originally served as a corbel. The carving is wonderfully rustic and stylized, depicting a horse with a simple bridle or halter. It hails from India, where animal motifs are commonly integrated into domestic architecture to bring good fortune. The wood has aged to a warm, glowing amber tone, with softened edges that speak to decades of exposure and use. It is a humble, honest piece of folk art. Lay it flat on a coffee table as a tactile object. It brings a touch of "Modern Farmhouse" or equestrian charm. It also looks fantastic mounted as wall art.
