Leather Horse Rearing Rein Figurine Sculpture Statue-Vintage Dark Brown w/saddle

Description

This unique and beautiful leather-wrapped rearing horse figurine is a beautiful example of folk art at its finest.
The horse is an eye-catching size, measuring approx. 9 inches tall.
Typically, figurines like this one are produced by heating and steaming pieces of leather (which makes them more malleable) and then wrapping a hand-carved core.
As you can see, this horse is characterized by beautiful leather in various richly-oxidized colors.
He is rendered in beautiful detail, showing distinct areas of musculature and anatomical accuracy.
Areas like the tail, mane and eyes feature light hand-hammered accents to give the horse an ever higher degree of realism.
The horse's eyes are set with shiny black acrylic which gives him a wonderfully emotive face.
Even the horse's ears are made of individual pieces of leather and give him a fun, inquisitive look.
This horse is the complete package as he comes with a full set of horse tack including a saddle, a bridle with throat latch, headstall, cheek straps and stirrups.
