| Description | \'The modelling, bold and confident...the horse, though attractive, is less skillfully depicted, and the details of harness are decorative rather than naturalistic.' (Johns) Similar source to Brough example? Johns suggest being cast as one is unique, but there is another example possibly from Canterbury (164). |
