 This is a horse with a flat head, eyes and nose made of bamboo tubes, and a mouth made of carved lines. The head is flat, with eyes and nose made of bamboo tubes and mouth made of carved lines. The entire figure is shaped by shaving. The face is poorly made but has a charming appearance. It is probably from the early period when horses were changed from decorated to bareback.
