Roman Empire, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A lovely Roman bronze fitting in the form of a horse head with an open mouth, perky ears,and incised mane.

They also played a critical role in agricultural communities, and of course, were used for entertainment in chariot races. This piece was probably a fitting for a military staff or weapon.
