In the Classical period, large and small statuettes were primarily religious in nature. Bronze horse or horse-and-rider statuettes were typically placed on the tops of columns set up at sanctuaries by the animal's owner in commemoration of one or more victories in the horse races held at the Panhellenic sanctuaries of Olympia, Delphi, Isthmia, and Nemea. This practice continued in Hellenistic and Roman times, when other uses were also possible for such small sculptures of a horse, such as votive offerings at shrines. A similar statuette has been recently found by the Bulgarian Archaeologists in the fortress of Rusokastro, in Southeast Bulgaria, and various specimens have been found in the Balkan regions, which may be the place of production of such statuettes. Fine condition.
