Terracotta mounted figure

Cypriot

Not on view

Though conventionally identified as a horse, the animal here shows quite different features: a long, maneless neck (that has been repaired), a compact head, and a short curled-up tail. The rider is sitting sidesaddle on a blanket or seat of some kind. The group may, in fact, show a child riding a dog.
