Object Description

A fine Ancient Roman marble fragment, possibly part of a votive figural panel carved in relief. The piece depicts a young horseman riding left and holding the bridle of a large horse. The young man wears a short, sleeved chiton (χιτών -khiton), a type of tunic fastened at the shoulders worn in Ancient Greece and Rome. The garment leaves the rider’s leg bare, revealing his long limb bent at the knee. His hair is short and his beardless face shows stylised features, giving bulging eyebrows, emphasised eyes and a snub nose to the character.

Date: Circa 2nd – 3rd Century AD
