EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite ivory carving depicts a horse in a tranquil moment of grazing, captured in intricate detail during the late 18th or early 19th century. The horse's muscular form and expressive features are expertly rendered, with every curve and texture brought to life through the artisan's skilled hand carving. The ivory, with subtle staining, adds an element of warmth and depth to the piece, enhancing the realism of the animal's coat. The horse, a common motif in Asian art, was a symbol of power, wealth, and status. This ivory carving, with its intricate craftsmanship, would have been an prized possession in the homes of the wealthy elite. The horse's head is tilted slightly downwards, as if in concentration or curiosity, adding a sense of personality to the piece. The precise details of the horse's harness and tack are also rendered with great care, showcasing the attention to detail that went into creating this work of art. The horse's bridle, with its intricate metalwork and ornate design, is a testament to the artisan's skill and the importance of accessories and apparel in fashion during this time period. This ivory carving, now a cherished object in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 18th and 19th centuries and the enduring appeal of the horse as a subject in art.
