Archaic Greek Mounted Warrior with Shield
7th-5th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £338
A terracotta figure modelled in the round as a mounted warrior, the stylised horse modelled standing on stub legs, with a long neck and detailing to its eyes; the warrior holding a shield in his left hand, right hand and arm raised to eye level, wearing a crested helmet; restored and mounted on a custom-made display stand. 410 grams total, 16 cm high including stand
Acquired before 1990. From an old German collection.
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 widespread in the Geometric Period, and also 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. -
