RARE LATE 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY ANTIQUE CHINESE HAND CARVED & HAND PAINTED WOODEN BATTLE HORSE with LONG SADDLE on RAISED PEDESTAL BASE. Late 19th to early 20th century Qing Dynasty hand carved & hand painted wood sculpture. 11 3/4″ Height x 3″ Depth x 9 1/2 Width. 100% untouched and undisturbed. Offered for your review and consideration is this simply wonderful, estate fresh and absolutely uncompromised late 19th to early 20th century Chinese antique polychrome, wood-carved standing horse figure on a raised pedestal base. The figure is completely hand carved and hand painted with charcoal black, deep reddish burnt sienna and gold enamel paint. The figure is from the imperial Qing Dynasty and showcases a Chinese war or battle horse, with front coiled satchel used to carry possibly ammunition, black powder or lead balls, if the rider was armed with a musket. The large leather saddle, possibly a ceremonial one, has long, highly decorative side protection plates and has a sculpted form, allowing the rider to sit snugly and free up his arms holding a bow and arrow or even possibly a musket. The entire horse figure stands on attention poised atop a four ringed raised, pedestal platform and is banded with fluctuating red and black stripes of color. The entire figure is painted by hand with the base plate remaining unpainted. It was carved from a single wood block. Fantastic original paint and original surfaces. There’s some minor to moderate paint loss in places on the horse figure and on the raised pedestal platform base. No attempt has been made to’in-paint’ or to remediate these episodes of paint loss. It remains, undusted, unrinsed and untouched. It’s the same as when it was taken from the Massachusetts estate from where it was first discovered. An extraordinary late 19th to early 20th century Chinese antique artifact, if only because it remains completely unbastardized and left alone. Beautiful Chinese folk art wood carving and quick, gestural, kinetic enamel paint decoration, make this particular Chinese polychrome carved wooden war horse figure, a truly lost gem. Good to Very Good overall antique condition. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\China\Figurines & Statues”. The seller is “modsanctuary” and is located in this country: US.

Add To Saved Sellers. Very Rare Early Viking Anglo Dane Broad Battle Axe – Type M 2 Conserved – EF. Hilt to mid blade 19.2 cm: toe to heel blade 26.3 cm: weight 993 grams. Most axes, both in period illustrations and exact artefact, that fall under the description of Danish axe possess type L or type M heads according to Petersens axe typology: Both types consist of a wide, thin blade, with pronounced horns at both the toe and heel of the blade bit: Cutting surfaces vary, but they are generally between 20 and 30 cm [this example falls straight in the middle]. The blade itself is reasonable light and forged thin, making it a superb cutting form: many of these types of axes were constructed with a reinforced blade, typically of a higher carbon steel to facilitate a harder and sharper edge: The rear of the axe at the shaft has a rectangular hammer striking surface, which would allow a devastating shield-wall or armour blow. Extremely Fine Display Grade. The axe has been painstakingly conserved to eliminate oxide deposition: it has then been treated with a museum grade micro-wax to eliminate further oxide development. The axe was recovered in the East Anglia Fens 2007 [northern Cambridgeshire]: The axe was deposited in peat rich alluvium deposits within a drainage section where, the banks had eroded and slumped.
