A wooden rocking horse is depicted in the image. It features a detailed carving of a horse in motion, with a saddle and intricate decorations. The color palette consists of various shades of brown, complemented by gold accents on the saddle's trim. Positioned centrally, the horse is elevated with its front legs lifted as if in a gallop, balancing on curved wooden rockers that extend horizontally beneath it.
