C. 600-800 BC. Bronze Age. Cast bronze zoomorphic amulet comprising an animal, perhaps a horse, shown in profile, with dual circular suspension loops, elongated head, short, curved tail and out-stretched legs. Animal amulets are common in Bronze Age cultures, as they might associate their owners with the positive natural qualities – strength and speed, for example – of wild beasts or the prestige of owning domesticated animals. Excellent condition; beautiful patina. Size: L:30mm / W:37mm ; 8.7g; Provenance: From an old British collection formed in the 1990s;
