Wonderful Old Black Painted Folk Art Horse with Moveable Head Griebel hydrometer or hang just as is

or hang just as is on the wall

and great color combo of what I might describe as olive and a cross between lime and sea foam green

so that I'd see it morning and night

with plenty of wear and fading of the color

each piece having its own distinct personality and flavor

Wonderful Old Black Painted Folk Art Horse with Moveable Head Griebel hydrometer or hang just as isA beauty of a creature I think, with small brass nails for eyes, a horsehair mane and tail, and a neck that moves up and down. The elegant shape of its carved head with the those pointy ears really gets me, and makes me believe late 19th c. Perfectly stark and strong in its original black paint. I see no evidence that this horse was once part of a pull toy or had a rocking base, but I suppose it is possible. 8 5 8" l x 8 3 4" t with head raised; 6 3
