Bronze ornament in the form of a horse

A small bronze horse pendant stands in profile with one foreleg raised, a loop at its back for suspension, and a cropped mane rendered in incised lines. Its surface is dark and patinated with green-brown tones, and the eye is a simple ring form. The record dates it to 220–589 CE.
