{"product_id":"rustic-charm-horse-sculpture","title":"Bronze\/Brass Tribal Stylized Horse with Bells","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe horse and the bells attached to it are a great representation of Metal Folk Art that exists in Tribal Form. It is made using traditional methods of Indian bronze or brass (generally referred to as Dhokra). The horse figurine has a beautiful, elongated shape that represents the bold power and expression of horses, along with their extreme body posture. The horse is shown to be very impressive in how it has been hand-crafted by Indian artisans, while also providing a great look for how the horse would be viewed based upon what is considered \"handmade\" as opposed to \"mass-produced.\" Additionally, this piece also serves as an excellent representation of power, freedom, and bravery through the connection to the history of tribal art in relation to symbols of god\/goddess worship through ceremony and ritual.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular carving has a high level of styling, but is not done in a super realistic manner. It has lots of detail that have been added to the body in the manner in which we would expect for ceremonial uses. Additionally, the horses were generally much slimmer than they would be today, and would be seen in the ceremonial processions with the men riding the horses. The legs of the horse appear long and lean, and were generally made of very thick, heavy wood to support the weight of the horse. What would make this piece stand out even more are the little bells (ghungroo) that would be used to provide some sort of alternative method of representing the horse in a ceremonial way, therefore providing a connection to the music of the bells and the movement associated with the horse, all of which combine to create a piece that captures the symbolic power of Indian Tribal Art, as well as maintaining an element of beauty and elegance as they are exhibited together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46195421151407,"sku":"VSP-162","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/412647_Compressed.jpg?v=1762321834","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/rustic-charm-horse-sculpture","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
