South Asia, India, ca. 19th century CE. A wonderful set of 9 cast-brass horse figures, each standing atop an integral, tiered, rectangular plinth. The horses are all affixed with bridles as if ready to ride, and a protruding spike behind each saddle is meant to stabilize a separate rider figure. The horse-and-rider is a classic theme in art from ancient times to modern, emphasizing the unique bond between human and equine. Size of largest: 2.625" L x 1.75" W x 5.75" H (6.7 cm x 4.4 cm x 14.6 cm)

Provenance: ex-private collection of actor Anthony Quinn and his wife Katherine, Bristol, Rhode Island, USA acquired prior to 2000
