No Reserve - Sculpture, Cavallo da parata - 60 cm - 40 cm - Wood

Elegant and scenographic decorative sculpture in wood finely hand-carved and painted in polychromy, depicting a parade or ritual horse in a dynamic stance on a support. The work stands out for its exceptional iconographic details inspired by the East: Guardian Lions: on the rear part, over the withers, two figures of guardian lions (Foo Dogs) are carved, traditional apotropaic symbols of protection and strength. Tack and Ceremonial Mask: Headstall and fittings richly decorated with an ochre/gold frontal mask and a saddle with embossed floral motifs. Antiqued Finish: Surface treated with a refined craquelé (crackled) effect and an aged patina that give the object a unique charm and a wabi-sabi / colonial taste. Display: The horse is mounted on an elegant metal rod with a solid rectangular dark wood base, ready to be displayed. Dimensions: Overall length (including tail): 60 cm Overall height (including base): 40 cm Condition: Excellent conservational condition with intentional patina and cracks aged to look antique as shown in the photos, which are an integral part of the work.
