Child Riding a Horse
The small figure on this prancing horse appears to be a child. Three of the horse's hooves are placed on a plinth, while the fourth is upraised. Although it is small and the details are difficult to see, the overall composition is similar to the bronze erotes riding lions found in Yemen and currently at the SI National Museum of Asian Art.
