Pottery Horse Mascot. Identified as Peruna, dated 1932. Interesting piece. Appears to have been made in Texas in the 1930s or 40s. A few small areas of damage as shown. Rare piece. 3.75" long, 2" tall. Peruna is the official mascot and fight song of the Southern Methodist University Mustangs, named after Peruna, a popular patent medicine (18 percent alcohol). The name "Peruna" is given to each successive live mascot. The mascot debuted in 1932, and since then a black Shetland pony, Peruna, has been present at every SMU home football game except for one. The costumed mascot is also referred to as "Peruna." Peruna was selected the #10 Best College Mascot by America's Best and Top Ten in 2009.
