Item Details
Description
7th-5th century B.C. Integrally modelled horse and rider with applied pellet eyes, traces of red pigment. Cf. Marantidou, P., Terracotta statues and figurines of Cypriot type found in the Aegean. Provenance studies, Limassol, 2009, pls.XIII, no.SAH69, XXXII, no.CYP50, for the type. 112 grams, 96 mm high (3 3/4 in.).

From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000.From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.

Terracotta figurines of horse and rider were common grave offerings in Boeotia, northwest of Attica, particularly during the 6th century B.C. Representations of warriors on horseback were already widespread in the Geometric Period, and widely used in Cyprus during this period. The rider, although influenced by Cypriot designs, does not show typical Cypriot characteristics. [No Reserve]
