This wonderful artistic creation, cast from an alloy of bronze and copper, depicts a miniature horseman. The piece, which would have been traditionally kept as a talisman to provide protection to its owner, shows an abstracted rider seated upright, with his head leaning forward.. The horseman exhibits a beautiful, worn patina, which is soft to the touch.
