Horse Carving with Raised Foot

Magnificent carving of a horse with raised left forefoot. Carving details include a horseshoe on that foot, along with a saddle, blanket, and bridle in relief. A metal bit is in the horse's mouth with rings on either side. It would appear that there was a barely noticeable break in the left rear lower leg, which is now secure. Otherwise, there is only some very minor wear. Signed on the base by F.G. Dieterich and dated 1929. Horse stands 8 ¾" tall (to tip of ears) and is 8 ½" long. Probably from Pennsylvania or Ohio. (CK- 4)
