Flying Horse of Gansu bronze sculpture by Von Morris, presented with its original Chinese Bronze presentation box and bilingual information sheet. What makes this piece especially appealing is the complete presentation—the wonderfully animated horse, dark bronze finish with touches of verdigris patina, handsome display base, and original fitted box.
This Von Morris Chinese bronze reproduction depicts the celebrated Horse on Swallow, or galloping horse treading on a flying swallow, inspired by the renowned Eastern Han Dynasty bronze sculpture discovered in Gansu Province, China. The dramatic pose gives the horse an extraordinary sense of movement from every angle.
Why I Chose This Piece
I love pieces that bring history and sculpture into a room without feeling overly formal, and this horse has such personality and movement. The original presentation box and accompanying information sheet made it an especially interesting find.
