| Description | Two-dimensional bronze horse which is hollowed at the back with a central, circular-sectioned bulge suggesting a missing stud shank. The tip of the tail is missing. He is walking to the right with his ears pricked forward. The piece is lively but stylized. No attempt has been made to indicate coat, features or harness (A-J and Miket). |
