Description from the seller

Roman Empire Bronze Horse-Shaped Appliqué – 1st to 3rd Century AD

A cast bronze appliqué in the form of a horse shown in profile, with an elongated head, compact body and short tail.

The surface retains mottled brown and green patination, with extensive wear and exposed metal on the raised details.
