| Object history | This bowl is apparently a composite formed from fragments of at least two dishes - the face of the horse-rider has been inserted from fragments of another vessel, cut to shape, and the beard painted on (see discussion in O. Watson, Fakes and Forgeries listed in Bibliography below). |
