Description

CBS Register: terracotta figurine, fragment, rider on horseback

Fragment of a horse and rider. Both horse and rider are hand made and fragmentary: the rider only retains his torso but not his head, arms, nor legs. The horse retains his neck and part of his body, thus missing his head, three legs from the body down and one leg all the way through the torso.

Credit Line Gift of Hermann V. Hilprecht, Babylonian Expedition to Nippur IV, 1900
