Searched for a Horse and Found a Saint

If I had one central collection, it is my Horse collection. So, periodically I access MA Shops and do a search for Pferd. My latest search not only found this plaque, but its subject matter fits into another one of my collections, St Martin. Not exactly a pocket piece, but it will do!

    My first thought was a St. George piece, but this is very cool. What size is it?

    180 x 150 mm. The plaque portrays St Martin. Martin was a Roman soldier who, when confronted by a naked beggar, cut off a portion of his cloak, giving it to the poor man. St. Martin's Day frequently is celebrated on November 11 and kicks off the celebratory season.
