It showcases a symmetrical design featuring two horse heads with a central motif resembling a vase, a design choice indicative of the era's focus on balance and harmony in art. The terracotta material complements the fine craftsmanship, underscoring the historical and cultural significance of such artifacts, which were common decorative or religious elements in both Greek and Roman societies.
