Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, Canosa, ca. 3rd century BCE. An outstanding Canosan seated equestrian figure, possibly a warrior, with wide-spread legs as if riding a large horse. The figure holds his left arm forward with his hand positioned as if holding the reigns of his horse and his right arm is raised as if holding a banner or switch to spur on his ride. He wears a handsome cuirass with a striated garment covering the hips/thighs, and leggings below. His facial features are nicely modeled presenting a serious countenance and framed by a crown of wild, wavy hair as if blowing in the wind while he rides. Liberal and very colorful pigment still remains - chocolate brown brunette hair, pink skin, and golden garments!
