Plate

David Spinner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round plate with a brown rim and a brown line design around the edge. The plate's main background color is a light brown. A figure on a horse, wearing a green tunic and a red garment over it, with a headband and dark hair. The figure holds a bow and arrow in their left hand, and a flaming torch in their right hand. The horse is white and faces left. Two small green plants are at the bottom. A plant with long thin leaves is on the right side. The plate casts a shadow on a white surface against a gray background.
