Description Cast copper alloy figurine in the form of a quadruped, presumably a horse, with an integral projecting knob representing a rider. The surface of the figurine is decorated with circular punch marks, and a mane is represented by a series of incised lines. Probably a votive figurine of Roman date (PAS). Very unusual piece.
