This framed textile artwork, rendered in the Thai artistic tradition, depicts a trio of stylised galloping horses. The composition features three horses in profile, shown in a dynamic leaping pose. Each animal is adorned with elaborate ceremonial harnesses and saddlecloths, decorated with intricate motifs characteristic of Southeast Asian design. The piece appears to be a silk embroidery or jacquard-woven panel, utilizing a palette of muted earthy tones, blues, and creams. Fine detailing within the harnesses suggests the use of metallic or silk-wrapped threads for highlight. The textile is mounted behind a wide, grey-green mat and is housed in an ornate gilded frame with a repeating foliate and rope-twist border. No signatures, inscriptions, or makers marks are visible on the face of the artwork.

The work is in fair condition with visible signs of age. There is significant foxing and spotting to the matting, particularly along the left and lower margins.
