About this lot

Description

A Bronze steppes art ornament, c.6th-5th century BC, possibly a harness ornament shaped with four horses around the circular edge, the two upper horses facing each other, 12cm diameter In addition to the buyer's premium of 27% (22.5% + VAT) payable on the Hammer Price, this lot is also subject to import VAT at the reduced rate of 5%, payable on the Hammer Price. This indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union.
This kind of ornament is conspicuously absent from Chinese finds, suggesting they belonged only to Northern steppes cultures.
