    Hello all - It is not resin as too heavy for that - any idea of what the horse is made from. The underneath may provide a clue?

    Height is 40cm

    Thanks

    The clean parts on the bottom are so white, I would think kaolin clay. If not clay some type of concrete...?

    Polyester resin can be mixed with all sorts of powdered stones, metals etc so you can get castings to weigh heavy. I used to used a powdered iron, which would turn a nice rusty fox red when exposed to the elements.
