{"product_id":"mugg-074","title":"MUGG-074 — , Bronze horse (8th century BCE)","description":"Horses. Acquisition 2 of 4.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeometric bronze horses from eighth-century BCE Corinth were produced as votive dedications, not ornaments. At just under seven inches tall, this figure was almost certainly placed at a sanctuary, possibly Olympia, where hundreds of similar offerings accumulated on altar edges and temple floors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Corinthian ?\" attribution remains tentative after more than a century of scholarship, a question mark that has followed the object from its 1921 acquisition onward. The source work is held at @metmuseum in New York. As the second equine acquisition in the current series, following the Tang dynasty horse documented as MUGG-073, MUGGMUSEET curatorial staff have noted the continuity of the horse as votive subject across twenty-five centuries and two continents. The work enters the collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work entered the collection on 2026-06-19. The mug is the acquisition.
