wooden horse
Hollow equine sculpture
A wooden horse is a figure of a horse made from wood.
The most famous is the Trojan Horse—the hollow structure Greek soldiers hid inside to infiltrate Troy.
Historically, the wooden horse was also a torture or punishment device: a sharp-edged plank prisoners were forced to straddle, sometimes with weights attached to their legs.
