A carved limestone relief depicting a horse's head with part of a charioteer.
The artifact is a limestone relief featuring a detailed depiction of a horse's head, adorned with a bridle and part of a circular element that could be part of a chariot. The carving is in low relief, capturing the fine details of the horse's anatomy and tack. On the right edge, there appears to be a partial image of a figure, possibly a charioteer. The relief is worn, suggestive of extensive age, yet retains clarity in its primary features.
