A wooden horse carving made by a Sutradhar community in West Bengal is a perfect fusion of folk art with rich religious human symbolism and indigenous craftsmanship. The Sutradhars are known for their rich wooden sculptures, contributing meaningfully to treasured visual storytelling through the colorful, handmade, decorative, and ritualistic objects made by the community. The sculpted horse figure exhibits freedom coupled with a rectangular wooden pedestal integrated with four wheels at the bottom portions, indicating that the carving could have been made as a pull-toy or ritually mobile idol employed mostly during village processions or as a part of children's devotional toys for festival occasions. The wow factor of the wheels introduces the dynamic and functional element to this sculpture and renders playfulness as well as spirituality.

In fact, this horse body painted in the natural generic brown hue connotes strength and relationship to the earth as the most universal expression of its body. Floral and lineal patterns in green and white create an ambience for the festival, changing this Ethiopian plain animal shape into an abstract vessel of divine energy. A black tail that contrasts with the body draws greater attention to anatomy and folk-style embellishment. Horses, in many rural Bengali communities, are emblematic of power, mobility, and heavenly transport, mostly associated with deities such as Surya, or used in ritual offerings. The Sutradhar tribe (literally translated as "narrator") tells cultural values through woodcarving, thus adding a voice in Bengal's heritage.
