Vintage Decorative Cast Iron Sculpture with Patina of a Chinese Style Horse, H:10" W:10" D:4". The Symbolism of the Horses, thought to be related to dragons, played on the Chinese imagination and myth from an early date. The image of Horses were also regarded as military necessities, as China was constantly menaced by the superior horse count and riding skills of barbarians from north and central Asia. By the fourth century B.C., images of horses as symbols of power had emerged in royal tombs.
