Subject:antique wood and copper horse
Posted By: david Fri, Apr 14, 2017 IP: 2607:fea8:1d5f:fe45:
Hello, Has anyone ever seen an antique wood and copper horse like this before? As we are only allowed 3 spots for pics, I chose the best representations for now; additional pics are on standby should any be requested! Any idea as to the region of origin and or age for this horse? All assistance for this query would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! David.

Resembles Indian horse sculptures. In Hinduism, Vishnu has a horse-headed avatar, Hayagriva, who may account for the popularity of horses among devotees. See link.

Best regards,

After my earlier posting, I ran across this wood and copper rocking horse in a Northeastern Florida estate sale. It resembles some Made-in-India examples that came up in response to my Google query when looking for one like yours.

Best regards,

Bill H.
