Devil Riding Horse toby jug - Germany circa 1930

Devil Riding Horse toby jug produced in Germany circa 1930. The devil is the personification of evil as it is conceived in various cultures and religious traditions. He is seen as the objectification of a hostile and destructive force. Jeffrey Burton Russell states that the different conceptions of the devil can be summed up as a principle of evil independent from God, an aspect of God, a created being turning evil (such as a fallen angel), and a symbol of human evil. This devil is taking a stubborn horse for a ride against its will.
