    Copy of the Flying horse of Gansu. The original is the Gansu museum. It’s a swallow bird it is treading on. I have a bronze one myself, not as nice as yours though. Here’s the original.

    I have one like it. I get the feeling they've been mass produced.

    Found it in an old house in the Catskill mountains . I've read that they are mass produced , but I live in a vary old community . Just trying to date it . From what I gather their all repos seeing theres only one original . Can't find any markings. Best part is I only gave 50 cents for it....
