- Description:
- This cast preserves the upper left corner of North XXXV and was cast as a fragment. A draped young horseman (fig. 93), in profile, processes forward (towards the viewer's left) with bowed head and lowered gaze. He is preserved from the lower torso up. His left arm is bent at a right angle, his wrist is slightly slackened. The rider (fig. 92) ahead of him, in the background, is badly worn. The forward-facing head of a foregrounded horse blocks from view fig. 93's shoulder and much of his neck. Its mouth is marked with a drill hole, intended to accept a metal attachment in the original.
