Feels fairly smooth and I almost missed it.Not sure if you can see the incredible detail of the horses veins, muscles and even ribs... and the detail of the rider as well..... a truly magnificent piece!Wood base measures 10 5/8" long x 8 1/2" wide x 1" tall with a 1/4" groove Horse and rider measures 9 1/2" wide from tail to bent knee in front x 8 1/4" tallOval base of sculpture measures 8 1/8" x 3 1/2"Marked on bottom in blue: Wien with the beehive mark with a crown and also...Impressed #1692. | ||||||||||||
