I bought the horse at an estate sale. The Italian gentleman I bought it from was in his eighties. He said his mother bought it in San Francisco when he was a child. The condition of the horse is the same as when his mother first bought it. It is made of fired clay, I think.
My mother bought this cross at a store called something like "Sacred Relics." They called it a Field Cross; it appears to me to be a grave marker of some sort. There is a flat area with holes that seems as though perhaps it used to have a plaque of some sort - perhaps the name of the person buried? We are very interested in finding out how old this piece might be, what it actually is, and what its value might be.
