== Commentary ==
First published in {{bib|Mayr 1951}}: 32 (no. VIII). Autopsied by TIR in October 2014.

Images in {{bib|Roberti 1950}}: Tav. III,VIII (drawing) = {{bib|Mayr 1951}}: 31 (VIII), {{bib|Pellegrini 1951}}: no. 8 (photo) and 313 (8) (drawing), {{bib|LIR}} (photo and drawing = {{bib|IR}}).

Inscribed on the front of the bronze, along the horse's back, starting at the backside; length 3.8 cm. The characters are unambiguous. {{w||kaθiave}} is best interpreted as an individual name, probably that of the donor.
