Figurine of a rider on a horse, Cyprus. The entire piece is schematic, the overall shape is emphasized and lacks fine detail. The horse is small with a short torso, cylindrical slightly tapering legs, and an unmarked tail. The neck is very long and vertical; the muzzle is large; the eyes are slightly convex; the ears are small; the mane is short and trimmed. The rider sits upright, close to the horse’s neck; the torso is short; the legs and arms are indicated. The head is large with a clearly defined profile and a particularly prominent nose; the eyes are unmarked. A vertically sloping adjacent ridge at the back of the head may indicate a helmet plume, though the helmet itself is not marked, only an overdeveloped top of the head suggests its presence. Dated 750–600 BC previously dated 7th–6th century BC. Figurine; height 14.9 cm, width 11.1 cm, depth 4 cm., A small weathered sculpture of a figure mounted on an animal, shown against a plain gray background, with the sculpture displaying...
