Lot 385: AN INDIAN CAST BRONZE EQUESTRIAN FIGURE, 20TH CENTURY.
0 views
An Indian bronze figure depicting a rider mounted on a stylised horse. The horse stands on four elongated legs with an arched body and lowered head, the mane rendered in simple incised ridges. The rider sits upright upon the horse’s back, with simplified facial features and a tall headdress or coiffure rising above the head. The figure is characterised by its elongated proportions and highly stylised modelling, typical of traditional Indian folk bronze casting. The rider’s arms extend forward, while the horse’s body curves gently between the legs, creating a distinctive sculptural silhouette.
H: Approximately 10.9cm
