By stretching the animal's proportions into a stark, stylized silhouette, the craftsman abandons realism in favor of pure, expressive geometry. The distinctive surface pattern, achieved by painstakingly wrapping the initial clay core in thin wax extrusions, pays homage to the ancient tribal metal horse art traditions of eastern India. Because the intricate mold is completely destroyed during the fiery pour, this massive artifact remains an entirely singular expression of rural artistry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eStyling Notes \u0026amp; Home Placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003ePosition this imposing piece on a wide reclaimed wood console, where it serves flawlessly as a large brass horse statue for living room styling against a neutral limewash wall. Its stark, textural lines also make it a remarkable large brass equestrian decor anchor for a corporate lobby or an expansive modern library. Spanning over twenty-three inches in length, the sculpture stretches wider than an open broadsheet newspaper, requiring a dedicated, substantial display surface. At an astonishing 11.2 kg of solid brass, the physical gravity of the casting ensures absolute stability despite its high center of gravity. The immense manual labor required to lay the repetitive wax threading across such a massive core elevates this piece into a premium, unrepeatable work of foundry art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAnchor an equestrian-themed library shelf by situating this towering courser beside a functional antique brass nutcracker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46140756623535,"sku":"VSP-059","price":47100.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/103_Compressed.jpg?v=1761982329","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/monumental-antique-brass-horse-sculpture","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
