This is a completely hand‑crafted, hand‑carved, and hand‑painted vintage shadowbox artwork featuring a racehorse and jockey, signed on the nameplate “Bud Ware.”
The horse and rider are carved from solid wood with detailed musculature, reins, saddle, and racing silks.
The jockey wears bold red, white, and blue colors, and the horse carries the number 1 saddlecloth.
The carving is mounted against a deep red felt background inside a stained wood shadowbox frame with glass front.
The frame measures approximately 12.75" wide × 10.5" high × 1.5" deep and includes a metal hanger on the back. Total weight is 2 lbs 6 oz, sturdy and ready to hang.
The craftsmanship shows excellent detail—textured mane, carved folds in the jockey’s clothing, layered paintwork, and a dynamic racing pose. A great piece for collectors of horse racing art, Kentucky memorabilia, or hand‑carved folk art.
Note: “Bud Ware” is believed to be the artisan who created the piece; the specific horse represented is not identified on the artwork.
