騎馬人物小像

前5世紀頃
銀
高6.4 cm　幅4.8 cm
　矩形の台の付いた銀製の騎馬人物像で、丸い頭をし、膝までの長さのチュニックを着け、肩に短いケープをかけている。頭部に刻まれた線から、頭飾をつけていたと想像される。脚は剥き出しか密着したズボンを着け、短いブーツを履いている。馬はアラビア種の形態で、手綱は短く引かれて顎を引き、あたかも旗手に停止させられたかのようである。人物と馬は一緒に鋳造された後、台に取り付けられている。

A figure on horseback is shown with his horse on a small dais in this silver figure. The rider has a round face and wears a knee-length tunic and a short shoulder cape. The incised lines on the head indicate that probably the figure was originally fitted with some sort of headgear. His legs have been shaved to show tight-fitting pants and he wears short boots. The horse has an Arabian horse form, as its rider holds the reins in tight and short, as if he has just stopped at a signal from his leader. After the horse and rider were cast as one element, the figure was attached to its dais.
