This horse represents one of the thousands of hand-carved wooden
carousel horses. This depicts an “outside row stander,” the type that did
not move up and down but was intricately decorated.
I’ve been fascinated by carousels ever since my childhood visits to the now defunct Kennywood
Park near Pittsburgh. As I grew older and became a stained-glass artisan, I also came to
appreciate the old-world craftsmanship of the hand-carved wooden animals as well. To execute
the piece, I added stained glass because my 20 years of experience allowed me to predict that
glass would add brightness and durability.
