拍品专文

Horses of this type, standing on either openwork integral plinths or plinths with a zig-zag pattern, were votive offerings in the Geometric Period and are widespread throughout the Greek world. The style of this horse is closely related with the Argive group, which is mainly represented through finds in Olympia and Tegea. For Greek bronze horse types cf. D. G. Mitten & S. F. Doeringer, Master Bronzes, Mainz on Rhine, 1967, nos. 17-21, and for a deer on a comparable plinth, the underside with intaglio design of chevrons and meander, attributed to the Argolid see no. 24.
