This theatre artefact would have originally been worn by an actor playing the role of a horse. Hand made with wonderful craftmanship across the whole item, hand painted and untouched in it true form as shown in the photos provided. The inside of the horse figure still has its support ropes that the actor would have placed in his hands to support the horses frame to his body. The inside structure is reinforced with an aged curved wooden pole to support the structure and keep it firmly in shape. The velvet cloth section has been added recently to hide the actor’s legs however this can easily be removed if required.
