公元前3至2世纪 青銅驭手端飾|Finial in shape of a horse and rider

Unknown

3rd–2nd century B.C · Bronze · Asian Art

The appearance of this mounted warrior, armed with a sword and shield, and his horse, with its naturalistic head and patterned body, compare to bronzes found in Guizhou and Yunnan in southwestern China, as well as to examples from Southeast Asia. The green granular patina also recalls metalwork found in that moist climatic zone.
