Chariot Art Appraisal

Roman Chariot Sculpture

This item is a decorative sculpture depicting a Roman or Greek figure in a two-horse chariot. The sculpture is rendered in a pale, creamy material, likely resin or a similar composite, with a textured finish that mimics carved stone. The figure is depicted wearing a helmet with a crest, armor, and a flowing cloak, driving the two horses that are harnessed to the chariot. The chariot itself has intricate details on the wheels and sides. The entire scene is mounted on a rectangular base designed to resemble cobblestones or ancient paving, which sits atop a darker, likely wooden or resin, plinth. The plinth features a small, rectangular plaque on the front with illegible lettering. There appears to be a thin wire or cord connecting the figure's hands to the horses' mouths, simulating reins. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of chips or breaks visible in the image. The style suggests a revivalist or neoclassical influence, common in decorative pieces from the 20th or 21st century. Specific details such as the small triangle marking mentioned are not clearly visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship appears moderately detailed, suitable for a mass-produced decorative item.
