Description
The sculpture depicts a horse in mid-stride, with one front leg raised and the tail flowing gracefully behind. The horse is designed in a stylized manner with smooth, flowing contours defining its body and mane, which is ridged and detailed. The color of the sculpture is a dark, metallic shade, suggesting it might be made of metal. The sculpture is positioned on a stable horizontal base. The sculpture’s flat, profile view shows it as a decorative piece likely intended for display, emphasizing form and silhouette rather than three-dimensional detail.
