Geometric Horse Pyxis (Cylindrical Lid)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a cylindrical lid with a geometric horse design. The lid is round and flat, with a dark brown color and visible signs of wear and tear. It has a smooth surface with some scratches and marks. On top of the lid are three horse figures, each with a similar design. They have long necks and tails, and their bodies are stylized into geometric shapes. The horses are positioned in a triangular formation, with one horse in front and two behind it. The horses are also dark brown in color, with some lighter brown patches. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. There is a white border on the right side of the image.
