Cedar Wood and Leather Horse Sculpture from Peru (11.5 in.), "Peruvian Paso Horse"

"This is the renowned Peruvian Paso Horse or Peruvian Walking Horse," Fernando Castro says. This smooth-gaited breed was declared a cultural Heritage of the Nation by Peru's Institute of Culture in 1992. Masterfully carving cedar wood, the artisan depicts the horse in a tooled leather saddle and bridle.
