Beautiful Large Antique Wooden Folk Art Horse in Original Green Paint antique Isleta bowl and the gold painted ball

and the gold painted ball is plenty large to make a good knock

Drawing itself paper size is 3"x3"

perfectly clean tear on the left edge midway down

and looks great sitting on the table the rest of the time--just a great form

Surely there are a million things beyond pounding lead it might be employed to do--or just hang it on the wall

Beautiful Large Antique Wooden Folk Art Horse in Original Green Paint antique Isleta bowl and the gold painted ballThis horse makes my heart ache I find it so beautiful so humble and graceful and just right in its green paint. I would guess it was originally a rocking horse, with a couple of old nails still in its feet via which it must have once attached to a rail or base, though Id be wary of putting much weight on it! I know that it was found in Pennsylvania, and that it lost two of its legs at some point, perhaps removed in order to add eye hooks on the back
