Description

CBS Register: clay. Greek rider (?) Man broken off. Horse has large mane

Fragment of a horse and rider. The head, mane, and a portion of the neck of the horse remains. The neck is broken under the rider's body. The horse has a distinctive mane. The rider is very small and crudely hand made; it is so small that a mold made face wouldn't fit this figure.
