Description
Unfortunately, this model has not turned out well as the photos must have had to have been shot at distance, from the walkway.
It shows the image of 'a great horse, horseman and squire.' It is one of many middle to late Iron-Age engravings on the rock - fighting warriors, dogs, deer, footprints, five pointed stars and other symbols.
The horse was an important status symbol during the Iron Age. This small grouping may also underline the clear distinction of social roles between the horseman (perhaps a local 'prince') armed with a shield & spear, and the squire, who holds the rider's second spear and leads the horse on foot.
This is quite a well known little cameo from the rock art of Valcamonica. I've got to admit that I find it a little comical as the animal seems to closely resemble a pantomome horse. Hopefully, on my next visit to Valcamonica I will manage to obtain a better sequence of photographs on of it.
