looks like it's trying to be an earthenware Tang horse of the type buried in tombs. few such earthenware horses in this stance have proven authentic unfortunately, though I know there must be some someplace that are. however, Tang burial items in metal were usually bowls and cups and the like, not such animals. this seems a recent replica. i agree with the other poster who suggested that you do more to learn about Chinese antiques before making more purchases.
