3092 Votive figurine of a horse |
||
| Description |
English: Votive figurine of a horse. The head of the animal is missing and the break on the neck is heavily corroded. The neck is thick and has a series of incised lines that represent the main on the right side, a double vertical line on the left that may represent the reins. The shoulders are slightly pronounced, but the forelegs are missing, again as a result of corrosion. The mid section of the animal is very narrow and undecorated, the reason for this maybe because a separate rider could have sat on top of the horse in much that same way as an example recorded on the PAS database at YORYM-C2A231. The rump of the horse is rounded and has a tale that runs almost half way dawn that back of the legs, again this is incised with lines that represent heir. The rear legs are well cast and plain, the rear feet are placed side by side and stand on a small oval platform. Below that platform is a rectangular lug that point downwards, this could have been inserted in to a hole to allow the figure to remain upright. Length 41mm, width 13mm, height 38mm, weight 22.89g. A similar specimen (complete with base) is recorded from Peterborough and cited in Miranda Green's 'The Gods of Roman Britain'. Shire Archaeology 34 (page 45 & 47, Plate 30). Another similar horse and rider can be seen in the PAS Annual Report, 2006. p56-7. See PAS database No: SF-99E3E4. Date 43-410
