Essex Glass horse Cufflinks OLD leather box harvester reverse painted. This great old leather and suede bottom box holds a pair of early essex glass reverse painted horse and rider equestrian cufflinks. Probably from England, these are a great find and gift! There is a lot of folklore about equestrian statues and figures, especially the ones with riders on them. There is said to be a code in the number and placement of the horse's hooves: If one of the horse's hooves is in the air, the rider was wounded in battle; two legs in the air means that the rider was killed in battle; three legs in the air indicates that the rider got lost on the way to the battle; and four legs in the air means that the sculptor was very, very clever. Five legs in the air means that there's probably at least one other horse standing behind the horse you're looking at; and the rider lying on the ground with his horse lying on top of him with all four legs in the air means that the rider was either a very incompetent horseman or owned a very bad-tempered horse. A perfect addition to a collection or for a gift for that special someone. ∆ Maker: harvester ∆ Material: gold filled, glass ∆ Size : see photo ∆ Weight: medium ∆ Condition: In good vintage pre-owned condition. ∆ Lovely patina!
