The
Coat of arms of North Rhine-Westphalia should not be a part of this article, as it obvously contains several other elements besides the saxon steed. That's why it does have an own article in the German wikipedia. --

It's a special form of gable decoration similar to
bargeboards as you can see here:
/info/en/?search=Low_German_house#Decoration. Going by the german articles about this phenomenon there seems to be some disagreement amongst historians studying architecture if it's an authentic phenomenon from the bronze age and antiquity or if it was invented later (when the heraldic of the horse for lower saxony already was widespread) and just retconned to be from older times.
