Annotation:

Medieval bronze figurines found by the Khanty and Mansi in the ground often served as decorations for women’s plait bands. The horse is shown in profile standing on an arch-like base raised on one end, on which it rests with its head, legs, and tail. The mane is represented by three large beads. The figurine is cast in a flat open-side mold. On its back is a metal loop for hanging.
