Scytho-Sarmatian Bronze Horse Trapping, ex-Royal Athena

Item Details

Description

Originally listed at $3,000...

Central/Eastern Europe, East of Colchis, Black Sea area, Northeastern Caucasus (Georgia), Scytho-Sarmatian culture, ca. 3rd to 2nd century BCE. A fine shield-shaped horse trapping of an openwork design with two registers of animals. The upper features a row of stylized anthropomorphic figures and two forward-facing horse heads. Below is a pair of rearing horses in profile. Similar bronzes have been found in the Caucasus, west of the Caspian Sea in Dagestan. This trapping may have been attached to the saddle and hung across the horse's flank. This certainly would have been a handsome piece of tack accessory and demonstrated the wealth or prestige of the rider. A wonderful green patina has developed over the ages and the surface is polished to show off the finer cast details! Size: 4" L x 3" W (10.2 cm x 7.6 cm); 5.125" H (13 cm) on included custom stand.
