A charming vintage Indian decorative toy horse on wheels, designed in the traditional style of regional folk art from India. The piece features a solid wood body entirely hand-clad in sheet brass, meticulously secured with small tacks. It is heavily ornamented with embossed brass panels showing floral and geometric borders, decorative medallions, and dangling brass gungroo bells. A brass tone chain rein connects to the bridle. The unique design features a hinged, pivoting upper body that swings open horizontally to reveal two internal compartments carved into the wooden core—including a round well, traditionally used for holding spices, incense, or small keepsakes. The entire figure rests on four fully functioning, brass-wrapped wooden wheels. The underside retains a contemporary retail or style label from "Sudha Style / Made in India."
