Mysterious horse

[Sandmaniac]

Came across this in my uncles shed in a metal box while Mding his backyard. A childs toy probably. My Queen Mary, I doubt it.
Any ideas? Somebody took alot of time to make it.

How tall, or what size is it? And, are there any markings at all to indicate by whom or when it was made?

OK lets see. 6" tall. seems to be a base of brass. no markings at all unless they are well hidden under all the detail. The craftsmenship is not that great for so much detail. You can see the lines where the 2 halves of the mold met, but it also tells me it is not mass produced. It is also hollow.

Probably a decorative piece made in India.

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

Definitely not a toy, but decorative folk-art and probably c.1950s. They’re generally said to have been made in Tibet or Nepal. I’ve seen with the inlays in other colours too, including blue.

I was going to say it does look like Chinese or another Asian country piece
