Architectural salvage vintage cast iron horse head fence post topper. This equine bust was designed without a looped bit which sets it apart from the many others. Likely from 1940s maker unknown. While originally used as a functional "hitching post" to tie up horses, modern reproductions and salvaged antiques are often used as garden ornaments, home decor, or as architectural salvage. The item is heavy as one might expect given its iron core.
