Commentary
Bronze statuette of a horse, turned to left, on a small pedestal. The feet of the horse united and the mouth linked with the body by a bronze fillet, probably to imitate the bridle rein. The trail and the mane decorated with fine incisions. The ear and the genital highly modelled.
An inscription sidewise the body, on the feet and on the pedestal.
Dal Rì dates the bronze statuette to the 4th–3rd centuries BC, but remarks it as arguable (Dal Rì 1987: 174).
Find circumstances after Roberti 1950: 173: Found during pouring sand over the period of 1947, autumn 1948 and spring 1949.
To compare by autopsy: Roberti as well as Dal Rì mention remains of paint red in colour in the area of the hole and the eye. Furthermore the condition of the statuette.
Further references with detailled information about the inscription: Mayr 1951: 78–79 (No. IX), fig. IX, Pellegrini 1951: 312–314 (No. 9), fig. 9, Vetter 1954: 71.
