Rivendell Art Horse Submissions - 2005

72. The Brass Ring

Artist: Karen Kuhns

 “I chose to create a carousel horse because of Western New York’s rich heritage as a place where Allan Herschell and James Armitage transformed their machine shop in North Tonawanda into a successful carousel company. The side of the horse that faced out was called the ‘romance side’ – its carving was quite intricate – the other side was relatively unadorned. Rivendell, like a carousel, encourages children and adults to ‘grab the brass ring.’”
