- "Dr. Magrath, Provost of Queen's, picked it up in a field at Sardis one day about 1880 when he was visiting the ruins under the guidance of G. Dennis, then H.B.M. Consul at Smyrna" (Sardis VII, 98).
- Tanım
- The horseman, according to Buckler and Robinson, has a crescent behind his shoulders and therefore represents Mên (ibid.). He wears a short belted tunic with a few minimal diagonal folds. In his r. hand he may hold a short stick. The beginning of the horse's rein can be seen on the neck before the diagonal break. His l. front foot was raised. The altar has a simple molding at top and bottom, and perhaps a small object on top (cf. Cat. 163 Fig. 311).
- Condition
Marble.
Fragmentary stele, preserving central part of horse with its rider and altar. Broken on all sides except perhaps base.
