LOT NUMBER 15
Indian wooden toy model of a Horse with metal fitments, early C20th
This is an amusing wood model of a horse, its right leg raised and the head looking expectantly forwards, the finely grained wood with metal fitments in brass and copper representing the ears, muzzle, saddle, saddle bags and tail, all with fine detailing and small nail fastenings. Many examples exist of these wood and metal horse figures which are usually held to have been made in India at Jodphur, Rajastan, in the early C20th. Presumably more intended for the local colonial audience these pieces have an obvious and wider appeal. The smaller sizes were probably intended as toys and perhaps the original owner of this piece played with it a little too vigorously which might explain the damage to the right front leg!| Size: | Ht (max) 13.5cm, Length (max) 13cm, Width (max)3.5cm |
| Weight: | 110gm |
| Date: | Early C20th |
| Condition: | Good condition generally but the front right leg with a clean break near the body (see image 10) |
| Estimate: | £20 – 30 |
