The meaning behind this piece
Ma Shang means on horseback and in everyday Chinese also carries the sense of immediately, while the eagle (ying) is a homophone for victory (ying). Together the image reads as a cultural wish for prompt success and a confident, competitive spirit. It is a traditional association, not a guarantee of any outcome.
