Chariot group

Unknown

probably 4th century BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art

The group is handmade and solid. The faces are mold-made. Two male figures appear behind the four horses. This group is an abbreviated version of a chariot group, for the chariot itself is not rendered. The bodies of the horses, which stand on a hollow rectangular frame, are short. The bodies of the men merge with the horses.
