Ghodi Horse
Quality:
Good - visible, slight wear, commensurate with age
A traditional wooden wedding horse common in Rajasthani India.
The full wood horse has a beautiful patina and earth tones as colors. White horses (usually mares) are part of an Indian groom's wedding procession (known in Hindu and Sikh traditions as a baraat).
To this day, grooms still often ride to their weddings on a horse, although for practical reasons it's increasingly likely that the groom arrives by car. After the groom dismounts, the horse performs complex scaffolding and jumping dances. Groom's family give the bride's family a replica horse.
