Lhasa Cloisonne Horse

Horse symbolism is rich and complex. In China, the horse is associated with speed and perseverance. In western cultures, the horse's fleetness can signify the wind and sea foam. And in one of the Indian Upanishads, it symbolizes the entire cosmos. This beautifully hand-crafted cloisonne horse, patterned in white, black and blue enamels on copper, captures the wild, untamed nature that the horse also represents. 12" x 5" x 8 1/4" tall
