This wonderful wood carving of a horse reflects the elegance and intelligence of this majestic creature.
The horse symbolises strength, speed and stamina, and beauty and grace. In Europe, the Horse as symbol goes back to pre-Anglo Saxon times when it was a religious symbol as well as a synonym for the warrior.
In Chinese mythology, the Horse was related to the Dragon and took its place in the imagination and folklore of the people. Those born in the Chinese Year of the Horse are said to be adventurous, enthusiastic, and talented.
The use of the horse in symbolism spans many millennia and most continents. It is one of the most familiar symbols of early man with depictions found in early cave paintings.
Each piece is signed by the artist and is carved from Boxwood, a high quality hard wood which has been used by oriental artists since the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
Boxwood has a warm and rich warm color, giving an elegant and classic sense of aesthetic feeling.
The horse carving can also be worn as a pendant as the carving can be threaded with a cord through the base.
Dimensions: 5 x 5 x 2 cm
Materials: Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens)
