At a flea market last weekend I purchased this amazing horse. He stands about 4 feet tall, is embroidered with beautiful flowers in all different colors and has little mirrors all over as well as beads and little yarn tassels for this mane. The only tag I was able to find says "Handmade 100% Cotton Made in India". I am wondering what this wonderful style of art is called and just any information anyone knows about this. Thank you in advance 
!
The man I bought him from said that the horse is about 60 years old and he aquired it from an estate, but that was the only information I recieved on this piece.
They are very popular as tourist items, and most shops which sell Indian stuff, incense, clothes and so on, may have them. I've never heard them called a particular name, but horses are certainly venerated in India (not as much as cows), and there are festivals where giant paper maché statues are paraded around (these are the basis of horses on caroussels). Sorry it's not a specific answer to your question, but I hope you find out something from someone else here.
