About these pieces
Horses and camels are the showpieces people buy for an office as often as for a home. Thirty-nine are brass and seven are aluminium. Sizes run from about 5.1 inch to 15 inch, and weights from 620 g to about 6.66 kg.
A running or rearing horse is the usual choice for a work desk, a cabin or a living room shelf. Rearing horses balance on the back legs and tail, so a heavy, well-cast piece on a level surface matters; a 15 inch brass horse here weighs 5.86 kg. Camels are calmer, wider figures and are popular with buyers who want a Rajasthan touch. A 6.5 inch brass camel weighs about 1.1 kg and suits a side table. Check the length of the piece as well as the height.
Many people place a running horse for vastu, facing into the room rather than out of the door. That is a tradition. On the practical side, keep any horse with raised forelegs away from the edge of a shelf.
