While totally functional

unsigned but presumed mid-century as it seems quintessentially so

with screw clasp

I believe it dates to the first half of the 20th century

Chinese Carved Wooden Horse carved wooden chain whimsy While totally functionalI believe this small Chinese carved wooden horse dates to the 1930s or 40s. I especially love that the pupil of one of the tiny glass eyes is cast skyward, making her seem rather coy, and also quite mischievous! I also love that the head is turned a full 180 degrees, evincing a sense of moving forward and looking back all at once. A nice little gift for the horse lover and fun addition to any menagerie! 4 1 2" tall x 3 1 2: wide x 1 1 4" deep. Great
