Description from the seller

Wonderful handcrafted chasing work on precious Carrara marble.
This beautiful horse made of white marble with armor has been crafted down to the finest details; the attention to each component of the armor is extraordinary.
The bust depicts a horse with armor, which has always symbolized strength, superiority, and a sense of protection and defense.
Object dating from around 1950, from a private collection.
