Each horse is gracefully posed in a dynamic, rearing stance upon a sturdy, green-enameled rectangular base inscribed with Chinese characters representing wealth and success. The bodies of the horses are covered in a vibrant, golden-yellow enamel, intricately decorated with a dense, multi-colored floral and scrolling vine pattern.

Weighing over 41 pounds combined and standing two feet tall, these are large-scale, impressive works of art. They are perfect for flanking a grand entryway, anchoring a large dining room, or serving as the ultimate focal point in an executive office or luxury living space.
