Description
This was a statue of a rider on a rearing horse and it probably formed a part of a hunting scene as one of the ledges around a podium, belonging to the Mausoleum Halicarnassus in modern day Turkey. The upper part of the rider is now lost and it was carved from a separate piece of marble and then attached. He's wearing a tunic and trousers in the Persian fashion.
