Curatorial note
A thick, irregularly broken slab at the top of which appears the bottom of a moulding strip below which are the head and shoulders of a youthful figure with a cloak over its shoulders, riding right (?) on a horse. A portion of the neck and mane of the horse appear to remain at the right.
The figure is in a good Greek style and is Hellenistic or Augustan work of the type found in Southern Italy, particularly around Tarentum.
