Small horse figurine, featuring a sleek body, head, and forward legs that seem to be giving a sensation of movement. The tail, ears and mane on the neck can be observed. The horse stands on a flat plaque with a vertical rounded stem, which suggests that this small sculpture may have been an appliqué or ornament for a cabinet. It was documented in the rescue excavation at Number 4 Vell Pla Square.
