A complementary pair of antique Indian Dhokra horse sculptures. These early 20th Century figures have been cast in a brass metal alloy using the traditional lost-wax technique, employed by artisans in India for over 4,000 years. The Dhokra style results in the sculpture appearing as wrapped in a series of lines and is revered for its enchanting and primitive simplicity.
Larger 18.5cm tall, 19cm long.
Smaller 12cm tall, 15.5cm long.
A couple of small losses on the smaller piece just on one side - shown in photos.
