category: American Saddlebred Horse Title of Bronze shown below: AFTER THE CLASS In Paleolithic times the horse was the most pictured animal. Horse Sculpture was more or less invented In Neolithic times, the time of portable art ( art you could carry around). Of course at first the horse was a food source, and had become rather rare by Neolithic times; but at the dawn of history, the Aryans, a great horse-using people( for food and chariot puling), swept down from the north and the rest is considered history. A clay figure of a man riding a horse is attributed to the fourth millennium BC! Sculpture has been around a long time . At first the making of a representation of a creature was used to try to gain power over that creature, to confer magical powers. Horse Sculpture became an actual art form very early in the history of man however, and the symbol of the horse has meant a variety of things to many cultures through the ages. The horse was first viewed as food, then power, then became an object of respect and love as man learned the horse was a magnificent partner. Love of the horse has been recorded since early Egyptian history. The horse as symbol, now is one of transcendence and stands for many characteristics shared by man and many man wishes he could attain. The horse sculpture of Patricia Crane began when she was 3 years old and continues as a life long passion. The sculpture below is one of those most beloved by her collectors and the public in general.
