Wonderful Old Black Painted Folk Art Horse with Moveable Head hand-carved tintype frame Now it might be used

Now it might be used to hang all sorts of things to be peeped through the window

With a little googling one can photos of a rainbow array of these

Lots of context in which this could be great--and useful--hung on the wall

Wonderful Old Black Painted Folk Art Horse with Moveable Head hand-carved tintype frame Now it might be usedA 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
