Arabian Horse Gold Statuette

Merging the preciousness of gold with the grace of well-proportioned forms, this piece is made to add a unique decorative accent to any surface. The statuette is a masterful lost-wax-cast bronze copy of a sculpture by artist Gaetano Monti portraying a standing and fierce Arabian horse. The original artwork is said to be the concrete, tangible version of a project commissioned to Leonardo da Vinci by Lord of Milan Ludovico il Moro. The statuette's minutely chiseled details are further enhanced by the final step of gold-plating.
