Hand-carved from solid wood with a deep, aged dark brown patina, the horse features a detailed head with bridle, expressive ears, and a distinctive "mane" created from iron nails (spikes) inserted along the crest for bold, textured effect.

The body is hollowed and cleverly divided: the saddle acts as a hinged lid, opening to reveal an interior compartment perfect for small treasures or keepsakes. Mounted on four wooden wheels with iron axles, it shows authentic primitive craftsmanship – visible tool marks, brass/metal studs, natural cracks, and rich wear from time and handling. See less
