The horse and background have been cut from one piece of wood and the design has been stencilled or transferred to each side. The horse is dark and light brown and the background light and dark green. The edges of the cut-out form are painted. The base is painted orange, while the wooden wheels are blue. The string is brown with a circular dark pink wooden bead at the end.
