Carousel Horse

•
#S013 60” x 28” 50lbs.

My intent here is clear: to juxtapose the horse on a beautifully tooled leather cowboy saddle. The horse is wenge wood adorned with antique purple door handles, vintage braided leather bridle, a hand-built tiny barn with a dog on the porch, and a Trompe-L’-Oeil boot which has been carved from wood with silver spurs. The real leather boot is in the other stirrup.
