Model of a horse’s head

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The model of a horse's head by an unknown artist shows a brown, clay sculpture of a horse's head in profile facing left. The sculpture depicts the head and neck in a side view, with the mouth open and the ears not visible, one on top broken off. The sculpture appears to be made of terracotta or clay and has a rough texture with visible cracks and imperfections. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
