DescriptionThe fragment shows a figure on horseback riding left, leaning back and thrusting with a spear in her right hand. Her head is in profile to left, her torso probably in rear view. Her long, flowing hair emerges from beneath a soft cap with long flaps. She wears a sleeveless jacket, decorated with stripes down the center and circles down the sides, over a long-sleeved tunic with alternating bands of zig-zags and dots. To right of the horse’s tail is a tendril from the floral motif of the handle zone.On View
