EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite terracotta head of a horse, adorned with an intricately detailed harness, is a captivating testament to the artistic mastery of ancient Cypriot craftsmen during the Archaic period, around 600-500 BC. Originating from the Sanctuary of Apollo at Phrangissa in Cyprus, this sculpture is now proudly displayed at the British Museum in London, England. The horse's head is remarkably lifelike, with incised lines depicting the texture of its mane and the subtle contours of its face. The harness, intricately designed with reins and other decorative elements, is a stunning example of the advanced metalworking skills of the time. The horse's head is believed to be part of a larger figure of a horse and rider, showcasing the ancient Cypriot fascination with equestrian themes. This terracotta sculpture, hailing from the ancient city of Tamassos, is a significant representation of the rich cultural heritage of Cyprus during the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The intricacies of the harness and the lifelike depiction of the horse's head demonstrate the artistic and technical achievements of the Cypriot people during this period. The fact that this piece was discovered in a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo further underscores the importance of horses and equestrian themes in ancient Cypriot religious practices. Today, this terracotta head remains a mesmerizing reminder of the artistic and historical significance of ancient Cyprus.
