I have same sculpture mounted on wood base. My father received it as a gift from our trainer in the 70's. I can't imagine it has a high value as the trainer was barely able to rub two nickels together back then. My guess is he must have spent less than $100 at the time. Interesting to see someone else has the the same sculpture. I always wondered about that piece growing up because it was prominently displayed in our living room on the farm. Let me know whatever you find out. Thanks, Scott

These Santini pieces are made a cast artificial ivory compound, they are not hand carved. At auction the horse figures often sell for under $75.00.
