Very Sweet Old Split Personality White Folk Art Horse with Horsehair Tail 1846 and clearly a very oldSo many sorts of old folk art creatures I can't resist, horses most definitely among them, white ones especially (coming to the rescue!), and all the better with a horsehair tail. I especially love the shape of the head on this one, with ears surely having gotten a bit more rounded over the years, and I love it for having a bit of a split personality too, with dark mane showing on one side, but not the other, and one eye a dash and the other a dot.
