Bending Bending Forwards Costumes Figurine Grazing Hand Carved Handicraft Handicrafts Ivory Ivory With Staining Sumi Stained Statuette

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-carved ivory figurine depicts a graceful horse in the act of grazing, its head lowered and ears alert, in the early 19th century. The intricately detailed sculpture, likely hailing from Asia, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The horse's muscular form is accentuated by the subtle staining with sumi, a traditional Japanese ink, adding depth and texture to the ivory. The horse's accessories, including a bridle and ornate trappings, are meticulously carved, reflecting the fashion of the period. The horse's dress, with its intricate patterns and rich colors, is a testament to the artistic skill of the artist. The horse's pose, with its bending forwards, conveys a sense of tranquility and relaxation, making it a captivating addition to any collection of 19th century accessories or figurines. This handcrafted masterpiece is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Asian continent and the artisanal traditions that have endured through the centuries. This image, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a studio shot that highlights the intricacies of the carving and the beauty of the ivory material. The unknown artist behind this work remains a mystery, but their mastery of the medium is evident in every detail of this stunning figurine.
