Geometric Horse Pyxis (Cylindrical Lidded Box)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a cylindrical lidded box, titled "Geometric Horse Pyxis (Cylindrical Lidded Box)" by an unknown artist. The box is round and made of clay, featuring a dark brown lid with two small horse figurines standing on top. The horses are positioned facing away from each other, with their heads pointing upwards and appearing to be chipped and worn. A small cylindrical object sits between the horses. The box's body is light brown with black geometric designs, including triangles, circles, and zigzags, arranged in a repeating pattern around its circumference. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, with the box casting a subtle shadow on the surface below.
