The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of this ornament are truly awe-inspiring. Its design features a majestic horse, symbolizing strength and power, adorned with ornate cabochon stones that add a touch of opulence. The gilded silver finish adds a radiant glow to the overall composition, enhancing its regal allure. What makes this artifact even more fascinating is its historical significance.
