Description: | U Ae cast stylised figurine of horse and rider, horse with incised features, bridle, reins and a breast-band which is pierced by two vertical holes (?for the suspension of pendants), an integral rivet projects from the base of the horses right leg and the remains of another can be seen on the base of the left leg, the separately cast rider is attached by an integral rivet which passes through the body of the horse and is burred over where it emerges from the horses underside, the riders tapering left arm extends towards the reins, the right arm is held horizontally, flattened and pierced by a circular hole (?to hold a spear or lance), the largely featureless rider has a slight ridge at the neck as if wearing a hood, simple dots as eyes and a slight pointed crest which continues down the back of the head. This find although old is probably not ancient. It has been shown to authorities on Roman, Medieval and Post-medieval finds and been rejected by all. It may be that it is an exotic import of perhaps 19th century date, possibly from India. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
