Description: | Cast copper alloy horse figurine with an incised mane and stunted legs where they have broken off from the base or object which the figure was originally attached to. The tail of the horse is also missing and the ridge above the head, attached from the ear to the end of the nose, also looks cut at both ends. This ridge may have originally been part of a circular border surrounding the horse which the legs and tail were also attached to. As a whole, the object may have been used like a terret ring for horse harness or a finial for a larger object.The figurine was studied at the Ashmolean Museum and Professor Michael Vickers has suggested that it is "of post-industrial revolution manufacture".
