Origin & meaning
This figurine is from a pre-1990 German private collection and was acquired through Oriental Art Auctions. Horses played an important role in Roman society - from cavalry to ceremonial processions - and bronze votive figurines like this specimen were often dedicated to the gods or used as protective talismans. The compact size indicates a personal devotion, perhaps placed in a home altar or worn as an amulet.
