    London deceased estate, 1960s-1970s. Property of a Cambridgeshire, UK, gentleman. From the private collection of John Meredith, acquired since the 1990s; thence by descent.

    Terracotta figurines of horse and rider were common grave offerings in Boeotia, northwest of Attica, particularly during the 6th century B.C. Representations of warriors on horseback were already diffused in the Geometric Period, and widely employed in Cyprus, in this same period. The image of our rider, although influenced by Cypriot designs, does not show typical Cypriot characteristics, and indeed his kausia cap suggests a northern Greek origin.
