Hello Sukotto,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a sculpture of a horse with one leg in a galloped positions. The object appears to be composed of wood, painted in red and gold leave. It appears to be in the Tang style. However, as the dynasty dates to the 7th - 10th century, authenticity is difficult to establish without extensive research and provenance. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable Tang style gilt wooden sculptures of a horse, dating to the 19th and 20th century, as that was the time these objects were highly reproduced. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report and its dimensions. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
