They say a piece comes out of a gourd, but on the front is a gourd... and on the back is a piece (horse) popping out, making for a truly surprising and impossible shape. The "horse" in the phrase "horse coming out of a gourd" represents a horse, and as something as large as a horse comes out of the gourd's small mouth, it signifies that something unexpected or impossible will happen, or that something said half-jokingly will come true. Gourd is an annual plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. It is a type of bottle gourd. Due to its unique shape, it has long been used to containers for medicines, alcohol, and other items, and its wide-open shape has made it considered to be auspicious.
