Description
The sculpture is a rectangular relief depicting a warrior in armor on top of a rearing horse. The warrior holds a weapon above their head while the horse opens its mouth and lifts its front legs off the ground. Below the horse, another armored figure is shown lying on the ground, partially hidden under the horse's hooves. The relief is carved from bronze-colored material. There are four small holes in the corners of the sculpture.
