This is a porcelain figure of a saddled horse decorated with a three-color glaze. The horse appears to be raising its head slightly, and is well equipped with harnesses, but not stirrups. White glaze was applied to the blanket over the saddle and the body. Other accessories like gag are adorned with embellishments and coated with a greenish-brown glaze.
