Agora Object: S 1467

Inventory Number:		S 1467
Section Number:		Η 667
Title:		Relief Fragment with Horses
Category:		Sculpture
Description:		A fragment of a chariot group (?), left. Body, beginning of neck and part of right foreleg of front horse, with hand and arm of charioteer stretched over his back almost touching neck, and much battered front and break for neck of second horse further left and to the rear. Rough-picked back surface, apparently original; note however pick marks behind arm, that would make background very thin above the group. Thickness of background below first horse is only 0.035m. Body of horse well finished; but very rough-picked, perhaps unfinished surface below area, and between the two horses. Coarse-grained Island marble, perhaps Naxian.
Context:		Found in bottom of cutting for Temple of Ares while weeding.
