Horse and Rider
This figure and horse were formed separately and then assembled. The figure, with a cylindrical body, pointed head, and very long arms, is attached to the horse at its flaring base and with its flat hands. The horse is more elegantly formed but has unnatural proportions. The nose is quite long and cylindrical, the head is very small, and the curving neck is very long. The legs, body, and tail are simple shapes. Black paint depicts large circular eyes on the human figure, and other traces of black and red paint can be seen on the figure and the horse, particularly at the horse’s mane.
