- Description:
- This is a fragmentary cast of North XXIX, a very damaged original, depicting horsemen riding towards the viewer's left. The booted foot of fig. 75 is most of what remains of him in the original. Here only the tip of his foot is visible. The damaged (in the original) head of his horse and some of its foreparts are also present in a large fragment of this cast block. Fig. 76 is completely missing here. Fig. 77's slightly bent leg, in boots, his drapery falling at his upper thigh, and his hand are preserved here as in the original. The shoulder and left front leg of the horse he rides are also visible.
