    The statuette, like the one from Rouen published by Mackintosh, represents a link between the Romano-British and Gallo-British figurines of the cavalrymen and Imperial statuary. They are of relatively good workmanship and represents a rider seated on a walking horse. The rider is dressed in a short-sleeved tunic and the military paenula, echoing the representation of Marcus Aurelius on his horse. The raised arm could mean that he was wearing a spear.
