Head and upper neck of horse with mane pinched, trace of bridle or harness on both sides of mane just above break. Detailed bridle with straps extending along sides and top of muzzle marked by indented depressions. The deeply hollowed out eyes are outlined by raised circular ridge. The tip of the muzzle is flattened with ears projecting diagonally backward with tips broken off. Possibly part of a horse and rider statuette.
