Bronze ornament of a rider on horseback

A flat, openwork bronze ornament with green-brown patina shows a horse in profile, legs splayed, with a small upright rider on its back. Two holes pierce the figure, one in the rider's torso and one near the horse's shoulder, set against a plain pale background.
