Horse

A standing horse modeled in earthenware with amber, cream and green lead glazes, its head turned to the left. A yellow saddle sits on its back, with green roundel ornaments on the harness and haunches. The horse stands on a flat rectangular base with cream glaze, and its tail curls upward at the end.

Look closer: Green roundel ornaments and a short curled tail tip stand out along the haunches and at the rear.
