Man on Horseback Ginger Jar Table Lamp Base

The horse is one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. According to mythology, it is closely related to the dragon and was once believed to be able to fly.

The horse symbolises the perfect contrast to the Dragon, with its docile and controlled nature.

This animal features prominently throughout Chinese art history, reflecting its valuable status as a working animal.
