Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A fine cast-bronze statue of a horse depicted in a classic leaping pose with both front legs lifted off the ground as if caught mid-jump. The muscular body stands upon a pair of curved back legs which rest firmly on the ground, and a sinuous tail drapes down from atop its posterior. Almond-shaped eyes, flaring nostrils, a thick snout, and a pair of perky ears comprise the naturalistic visage, its head held high and accentuated by its cresting mane. Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 2.875" L x 3.75" H (7.3 cm x 9.5 cm); 4" H (10.2 cm) on included custom stand.

Much of one leg repaired with multiple fragmentary pieces, with some losses and adhesive residue along break line. Age-commensurate surface wear, losses to lower portions of both front legs, fading to facial details, and areas of roughness across most surfaces, otherwise very good. Light earthen deposits as well as nice green patina throughout.
