Horses appear in Chinese bronze casting from the earliest periods, usually as tomb figures and later as decorative sculpture on desks and in offices. The idiom most often attached to a standing horse is about travel and progress.

This is a solid casting with a hand-worked surface: the mane is modelled in short relief strokes rather than left smooth. It stands on a narrow footprint, so it is stable on a flat shelf but not on a curved edge. Felt pad underneath.
