What is the background of this item? Did you buy it from an individual, yard sale, etc.? Also I'm not sure what you are asking-please be more specific.

Found this at a yard sale...... I never seen something framed like this I'm looking for something similar

it doesn't look very "Chinese" to me and the wording is very suspicious too.

Even though someone went to great lengths to mount and frame this piece, I would remove it to clean it up some. It has bronze disease and you can see where it has eaten through the piece on the saddle. It is in need of a good baking soda bath and slow oven dry since there are fissures in it that have broken through. You don't want any water to remain inside. The good thing is, I haven't found another one that even resembles it yet. Bad thing is, I have no idea as to age or origin. Looks more brass than bronze, but that could be the camera flash. Personally though, I like it.

I'm guessing it is a Feng Shui piece from someone's office or business. The treasure horse brings success.

The frame is a shadow box. Found some similar here but I can't get the page to open: http://http://www.star-paradise.com
