Chinese Carved Wooden Horse carved wooden chain whimsy chocolate-y brown interior glazeI believe this small Chinese carved wooden horse dates to the 1930s or 40s. I especially love that the pupil of one of the tiny glass eyes is cast skyward, making her seem rather coy, and also quite mischievous! I also love that the head is turned a full 180 degrees, evincing a sense of moving forward and looking back all at once. A nice little gift for the horse lover and fun addition to any menagerie! 4 1 2" tall x 3 1 2: wide x 1 1 4" deep. Great
