Cypriot

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Numerous equestrian figurines have been found on Cyprus; they represent a variety of figures, including the Dioskouroi, Amazons, and Phrygian riders. This example appears to depict a horseman in Persian dress, similar to that shown on the famous Alexander Mosaic from the House of the Faun at Pompeii.
