Summary
An openwork model of a horse and cart made of cream coloured rope. The head has flat black plastic eyes and orange ears made of plastic material and held in place by two black beaded pins. The long 'flowing' mane is made of unravelled rope. The hooves and nose bands are red tape and the cart is held in place by blue and yellow tape with pink pins. The cart has a brown seat made of plastic coated material, pipe cleaner shafts, nail and blue topped pins hold the wheels. The wheel is loose and one pin is missing. The whole model is fixed to a rectangular piece of brown plastic coated card. The label stuck to the base reads 'Malta, Handmade'.
