Applique of a Horse and Rider
3rd-1st century BCE
Dimensions
9.84 x 7.62 cm (3 7/8 x 3 in.)
Provenance
L. Curtius collection. Charles L. Morley, sold; to Frederick M. Watkins, New Haven, CT, bequest; to the Fogg Museum, Harvard University, 1972. In addition, a handwritten note in the 1973 catalogue written by David Mitten quotes a March 5, 1973 letter from Dietrich von Bothmer, presumably referring to documents which he had seen: "'Prof. Curtius' in Morley's bill of sale is, of course, Ludwig Curtius."
