Item description

This refined glazed ceramic sculpture depicts a horse in a dynamic position, characterized by an intense turquoise blue color that covers much of the body. The animal is represented with a raised front paw, suggesting a proud and elegant movement, while the surface is embellished with a dense network of crackles which underlines its ancient aesthetic. The figure is richly adorned with harnesses and decorative elements in relief in brown and golden tones, which create a strong chromatic contrast with the blue of the mantle. An elaborate saddle rests on the back, complemented by a caparison decorated with figurative motifs, while the mane is stylized with flowing engravings and vegetal motifs. The work rests on a solid dark rectangular base, giving stability and solemnity to a composition that recalls the plastic tradition of oriental tomb figurines, reinterpreted with a strong attention to ornamental detail. dimensions 38 x 18 x 36 cm (H x W x D) SKU 426342
