Description | From Marcus Publication: "Black calcite/marble. Bronze pin in perforation, with traces of looped end at top. Two winged horses with short bushy tails and long snouts walk in procession to the left. their bodies are marked with horizontal and diagonal incisions, as well as with a diagonal series of small triangular serrations to indicate body hair. A small triangular wedge is between the legs of each animal. At one end of the register is a small bush, with a cuneiform-like wedge above it; at the other end is a branch, with a striated lozenge above it." |
