From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
Once mounted with pins upon his horse (now lost), this statuette depicts a young man participating in an equestrian race. The rider’s distinctive equipment is still barely visible: his right hand clutches the base of a goad to urge on his horse, and the first pleat of a cloak, the youth’s only covering, lays over his left shoulder. Without stirrups, this rider’s heels turn inward to control his mount by pressing its flanks.
