Bringing the light - here in form of a candle - to the human beings during wintersolstice in the nordic countries and therefore shaped in a naive rustic appearance.
Representing a Julbock (a billy goat) does not really fit due to the two missing horns and the saddle which makes clear that this figurine represents a horse.
Nonetheless it is still an important animal related to germanic gods and religion so it is possible that here a horse has been put in place and not the classical Julbock - the regional traditions and their praxis are variable anyway.
Companies like Deutsches Heimatwerk offered a multifaceted range of different objects for the decoration of the Jul tree and the interior during wintertime and this piece may very well fit into that.
What´s the material - iron?

Thanks for the well written Information.
I bought it because it reminds me on some kind of Viking Item
Yes, it is made of Iron.

I really like it too now that I know it would greatly fit into the upcoming Christmas Time..

Steve! what can I say! Beautiful set-up and I know you love it too. Thanks for showing. This does NOT, however, excuse a new submission from you at julfest...
We will want to see more.
