Object Description
A finely cast bronze sculpture, depicting a male warrior riding a horse, displaying prominent stylistic features that are distinctively known to Hasanlu metal objects of the Iron Age. Both the zoomorphic and anthropological figures are portrayed in a naturalistic manner, with much attention given to the realistic renderings of the horse’s strong physique and anatomical details. The warrior is portrayed holding the harness and features incised facial detailing. The reins are presented by two ridges, slightly protruding from the surface.
This object comes with a customised modern stand.
Date: Circa 9th-7th century BC
