About this piece
A rider, a banner, and a horse in full dress.
Indian artisans cast this pilgrimage equestrian figure in brass, dated in the record to the 17th century. Horse-and-rider figures in brass are commonly associated with folk deities and shrine offerings in India. The horse is richly decorated, with a patterned saddle cloth, beaded harness and a raised, alert head. The warrior sits upright, holding a tall staff topped with a small parasol-like finial. The brass is golden, with darker residue gathering in the incised details.
About 2 inches in the record, though it feels larger in the hand. Small, brisk and ready to ride.
