Pair of Hand-Carved Asian Mounted Warrior Figures – Antique Painted Folk Art

Finely carved wooden figures depicting mounted riders on horseback, likely Southeast Asian or Himalayan folk art. Each figure is carved in solid wood, with remnants of original paint and gilt still visible – the worn surface tells the story of age and traditional craftsmanship. The stylized horses, posture of the riders, and block plinth bases are characteristic of tribal or rural ceremonial carvings. These display beautifully as architectural décor, shelf sculpture, or ethnographic accents. Honest age cracks in the wood and paint loss only reinforce their authenticity and charm as true hand-carved antiques, not reproductions.
