- Lot Description
Northern Greece, Roman period, Thrace, ca. 3rd century BCE to 3rd century CE. A finely cast leaded-bronze horse and a separate leaded-bronze male soldier figure. The rider wears a Phrygian (Thracian) style of helmet with the distinctive conical shape, a cloak over his shoulder, and his right hand raised, presumably holding a weapon - perhaps a sword. He is nude from the waist down, and his legs are slightly bent in a riding position. While often cast separately from their horse, this rider and horse are probably not a matched pair - the horse is too petite for the rider to balance upon - but together they demonstrate a popular theme of the Thracian horseman - the horse and rider symbolizing victory and strength were a recurring motif on eastern Balkan mythology during the Roman era. This horse is galloping forward, the tail straight out behind and the front legs bent in a dynamic pose. Size (horse): 2.8" L x 0.5" W x 1.5" H (7.1 cm x 1.3 cm x 3.8 cm); (soldier): 2.45" L x 1.45" W (6.2 cm x 3.7 cm)
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
