A well carved folk art horse sculpture. Signed and dated for 1991, the sculpture depicts a typical Chilean horse, the 'Caballo Chileno'.
This is a medium sized, robust horse known for its endurance, agility, and versatility on the vast plains of south America. The artist has finely depicted the covered woven stirrups and simple blanket style saddle that are typical of the region.
