The  figurine  is  wearing  a  hood  and  a  round-necked,  narrow-sleeved  robe,  with  boots  and  stirrups  on  both  feet.  The  horse's  eyes  are  rounded,  its  ears  erect,  its  head  turned  inwards  and  slightly  to  the  right,  and  it  has  a  neck  frame  with  a  drum  that  should  have  been  there,  but  has  been  lost.  This  should  be  the  drum  blowing  ceremonial  figurines.
