Commentary
Bronze in the shape of a horse.
The bronze is halfplastic worked at which the back side is not sculptured, the front side with a D-cross-section. Green smooth patina all-over.
The head is highly stylized, with no indication of an eye. In the head area a harness bridle. Also the mane is stylized, worked as one closed material with some indentations. The leading flank is formed in a smaller dimension and gives the idea of a jumping horse. The only less narrow end, which is considerably thinner as the body, is perforated. On the flat back side, in the area of the forehead, the chest, the back as well as the body a total of five tapered insections.
On the frontside, along the longish body of the horse an inscription.
The Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum also keeps a copy of the object (inv. No. 1.086K) which also could be observed in the permanent exhibition.

Discussion about the date ....
Find circumstances: In 1883 a bronze situla filled with different kinds of bronze objects like fibulae and pendants was found on a ridge west of Dercolo. Moreover the situla contained a set of magical sticks (sortes) and bronzes - sometimes also interpreted as appliqués - in the shape of a horse (cp. LIR: ??). According to Mancini the situla was found in march 1882 (see LIR: 164). Roberti compares one of the Sanzeno bronzes with the bronze of Dercolo (cp. Roberti 1950: 180).
Interpretation: The collection of the wealth deposit can be interpreted as a votive hoard.
