Etruscan Horse

SOLD

A beautifully crafted Etruscan horse sculpture, handmade in patinated bronze.

This bronze sculpture is a minimalist and abstract representation of a figure riding a two-wheeled chariot pulled by a stylized horse. The rider has an elongated, simplified human form with minimal facial features. One arm is raised, holding what appears to be a small object, while the other arm extends forward to hold the reins. The figure wears a headpiece or helmet, giving it an ancient or warrior-like appearance.

The horse is depicted in a highly stylized and geometric form. Its head is elongated and curves downward, and it has a pronounced, comb-like mane extending over the head and neck. The horse’s body is reduced to essential shapes, with slender, angular legs suggesting movement.

The chariot is composed of two large, spoked wheels with a minimalist frame connecting the rider and the horse. The wheels are circular with four spokes each, adding to the abstract, geometric aesthetic. The structure is open and linear, emphasizing simplicity over detail.

Made of bronze, the sculpture has a dark, aged patina that enhances its ancient and timeless feel. The surface is slightly rough, contributing to its handcrafted, archaic quality.

This sculpture combines ancient motifs with modern abstraction, portraying a rider on a horse-drawn chariot in a highly stylized and minimalist form. The piece evokes a sense of historical significance while celebrating clean, geometric design, blending tradition with modern artistic expression.

It is in very good vintage condition.
