Russian Horse Toy Carvings.
In a land as vast as Russia, it stands to reason that the horse would have played an important artistic and historical role (as it did in the American West). The classic "troika", a sleigh pulled by three horses, is legendary in Russian art and literature. Toy craftsmen from Gorodets and Zagorsk produced wonderful folk carvings and toys with a horse as the motif.
