Product Description
Hand carved in Rajasthan and finished with a traditional brass plating, this temple horse carries both decorative presence and cultural meaning. The form is proud and alert — ears forward, neck arched — reflecting the reverence held for the horse throughout Rajasthan’s history.
In Rajasthani culture the horse symbolises honour, protection and nobility, long associated with warriors and guardianship. Placed at entrances and shrines, horse figures were believed to watch over a space and bring strength and safe passage to those within. Even today they remain an auspicious motif, representing courage, loyalty and status.
The carving reveals the hand of the artisan, each contour shaped before being carefully clad in brass — a skilled process that protects the timber while adding warmth and quiet luminosity. Pieces such as this support the continuation of traditional carving and metalwork techniques passed through generations, where craftsmanship is valued over speed and individuality over uniformity.
A sculptural object with substance and story, it works as a focal piece on a console, shelf or within a layered interior of collected objects.
Approximate dimensions: 680H x 750L x 200W
A decorative object chosen for character rather than perfection — timeless and grounding in equal measure.
