Description

A, Naked youth standing beside (on other side of?) horse, pose of both toward left. Youth places right hand on horse's neck, the other is stretched out behind him, perhaps preparing to mount. B, Two standing, naked youths, both in three quarter view with one foot forward. The one at right looks towards the other, his arms down, about equidistant from his sides. The one at left is advancing toward the other but his head is turned back. His right arm is down, a little distance from his thigh. His left arm is up, supporting a narrow piece of drapery on his upper left arm. Many palmettes below handles, on shoulders, and on both sides of neck. Recomposed from fragments.
