A hand-carved folk art horse in elm, dating from the late nineteenth century. The stylised form is defined by an elongated neck, slender body and simplified carved features, retaining inset metal eyes, a horsehair tail and a warm, darkened patina developed through age and use.
Displaying the naïve craftsmanship and expressive character associated with traditional British folk art, the sculpture balances decorative appeal with a strong sculptural presence. Wear to the painted surface and timber is consistent with age.
