Hand-carved in Indonesia from a single piece of gnarled \u003cem\u003eWurzelholz\u003c\/em\u003e (root wood), our spirited horse rears his head, flares his nostrils and bares his teeth with all the drama of a beast who knows he is the best-looking thing in the room. The carver has worked with the timber rather than against it, letting the natural grain flow into the flowing mane and letting a wild burst of raw root erupt at the neck, where the wood refuses to behave. Mounted on a turned conical base, he stands proud and theatrical, a sculptural full stop for any shelf, console or collector's cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn antique piece with genuine age and an honest, weathered surface, this is folk art at its most expressive: equal parts craft, character and quiet menace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fellow loves company from across the archipelago and beyond.
