Greek bronze figure of a horse


From the Geometric Period, circa 8th century B.C.
...of Corinthian type, of stylized attenuated form standing on an openwork rectangular base, with crested mane, long forward-pointing ears, and cylindrical muzzle; height 5 3/4 in. 14.6 cm. 
Another strikingly similar example, from the same period, in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
