Plaque depicting a horse and rider
Period: Neo-Assyrian
Date: ca. 883–859 B.C.
Geography: Mesopotamia
Culture: Assyrian
Medium: Bronze, traces of gold overlay
Dimensions: 0.51 x 4.59 in. (1.3 x 11.66 cm)
Classification: Metalwork-Relief
Credit Line: Purchase, Nathaniel Spear Jr. Gift, 1988
Accession Number: 1988.80
Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/3000...
The holes indicate that this plaque was attached to another object, but its function eludes us. Represented is an unarmed male dressed in animal skins, who holds one horse by the mane and another by a cord in his left hand (only the head of the second horse can be seen.)
