Statue, Cavallo in legno - 0 cm - Wood

Wooden sculpture depicting a horse, made in a style that evokes traditional craftsmanship or vintage carousel horses.
The Pose: The horse is depicted in a dynamic and proud stance, with the left front leg raised and bent, as if marching or hinting at a step of dance (a typical parade pose).
Details and Ornaments: The animal's body is finely carved. On the back there is a fixed saddle enriched with geometric decorations, fish-scale motifs and fringes that run down the flanks. The head features a bridle carved directly into the wood.
Colors and Finishes: The main structure presents warm, natural tones of blond/honeyed wood, while the mane (styled and elegant) and the tail, together with the hooves, are painted black to create a strong color contrast.
The statue is detachable and the head and tail are movable.
N.B. The left eye shows a chip, the central part of the head has a hole.
