Saw this so thought I would tap into the vast pool of classic car knowledge on here.

Can anyone identify which car this comes from please? Believed to be a car bonnet mascot.



Thanks in advance

I believe there are (or at least used to be) emporia selling car bonnet mascots which are not marque-specific, often seen in use by the landed gentry, so your search may prove fruitless anyway.

My first thoughts were that it looked like the Humber Imperial horse.

Sorry I should have added this one is definitely from the 1920s. It's not adorned the bonnet of a Range Rover ..... yet.
