19th C. Paint-Decorated rocking Horse

Early painted rocking horse in excellent original surface. The decoration is freehand and the colors remain vivid.Square-nailed construction with a horsehair mane. Where most 19th C. rocking horses have a vertical aspect, at only 12"w x 14"h this less common form is lower to the ground (perhaps to make unhorsings less serious). Found in New England. Ca. 1860-1875. Would look great on a hearth or under a dropleaf table.
