Rare Mughal Cast Brass Rearing Horse 18th Century India
This is a beautifully modelled antique cast brass horse in the rearing pose, with open mouth and is saddled. Of realistic form, the head is depicted in a slightly smaller size in proportion to the body and is part of a group of similar equestrian figures.
