| Description | CBS Register: cast. terracotta figurine, fragment, from Nippur. Man on horseback. Original in Constantinople. PBS XVI: Parthian rider. The animal – horse or ass – roughly modelled with short legs and long tail is out of proportion. The rider sits and holds the reins in normal position. His sleeved tunic is embroidered at the neck. The peaked cap is perhaps a helmet with flaps. But he wears no weapon, and the beard is anything but distinct. The figure may well represent a woman rider. Cast of an original in Constantinople. |
