A Large Painted Striding Horse
A large ceramic horse stands in mid-stride, head raised and tail flowing, with a saddle set on its back. Its pale white slip shows traces of wear and faint mineral colour, and it rests on a dark rectangular base.
Look closer: Faint traces of mineral colour and wear remain on the saddle and body, visible on close inspection.
