To commemorate the Year of the Horse, Minstrel Painting has released a new equine-themed doll. This release is available either as the horse-only version, or as the Horse and Swallow set.

“Horse and Swallow” is an iconic image in Chinese tradition. 马踏飞燕 (Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow) is inspired by a famous Han Dynasty bronze sculpture often associated with speed and power. In the imagery, the horse’s rear hoof rests lightly on a flying swallow, symbolizing a horse running so fast it seems to take flight, catching up to and stepping on a swallow midair.

While traditionally, the horse is depicted with rear right hoof on the swallow, Minstrel Painting’s version allows up to any two of the horse’s hooves to be on the swallow.

There are two appearance types:
– Shiny brass (purple eyes)
– Matte brass (yellow eyes)
