Wooden Sculpture | Ashva - Horse protome in wood No. 5

This ancient wooden sculpture depicts a richly adorned horse head, once affixed to an architectural structure or a processional chariot in southern India, likely within a religious or ceremonial context.

Entirely hand-carved from solid wood, it showcases remarkable craftsmanship: every detail of the harness, from the braids to the decorative motifs, has been meticulously worked with great finesse.

Mounted on a metal base, this historically rich piece naturally finds its place in a contemporary interior, a collection of ancient artifacts, or an ethnic chic decorative setting. Subtle traces of original pigments—red, yellow, and white—are still visible, hinting at its ritualistic and festive past.

Full of character, this horse head embodies the animal's strength, majesty, and protective symbolism in Indian traditions. It seamlessly integrates into a wabi-sabi, bohemian, or eclectic aesthetic, bringing a strong and authentic presence to any space.
