A hand-carved figurine of a horse depicted in a recumbent pose, rendered in the style of 20th-century Chinese softstone carvings. The piece is fashioned from a yellowish-brown stone, likely soapstone or steatite, featuring natural dark mottling, inclusions, and a waxy surface finish. The horse is shown in a stylised manner with its head bowed and legs tucked beneath the torso, featuring simplified anatomical forms and incised linear detailing to represent the mane and tail. The underside shows irregular scratches and dark staining, but no maker’s marks, signatures, or inscriptions are present.
