A horseman with a flying cloak rides an elongated horse towards the r. The horse wears a saddle blanket, a belt which goes over his rump, a bridle, and two reins shown against his neck on one side. He has short incised curls for a mane. The man is shown in profile except for his chest, which is nearly frontal. He rides on a high ground in line towards an altar, which rests on a three-stepped base on a lower ground line. Upon the altar is an indistinct object, either a “Phrygian” helmet, or a cake. Only faintly visible behind the altar is a tree with a snake wound around it.

The relief was probably not a predella, but an independent votive to a horseman hero. The elongated horse may be late Hellenistic or early Imperial, as suggested by H. Möbius (letter of May 25, 1971).

Large-grained, possibly local marble. Originally covered with dense red layer.

R. side and bottom original; sides are slightly slanted and carefully smoothed. L. side broken. Top trimmed obliquely. Back smooth but with some large point marks left.
