Hey, that decorative figurine thingy has the kanji for uma written the wrong way.

Oh, that's a hidariuma. A "left horse", facing backwards. Basically 馬, the kanji for "uma", but mirrored backwards. And with 2 legs instead of 4.

A left-facing uma can be read as mau, that is, ritual dancing during celebrations. So it can be considered an auspicious good luck charm.

That's not what I meant by left...
