Incised lines decorate their curved horns and feathered wings. Rings penetrating their bodies hold the metal bit, while smaller rings on the hollow, unworked inner sides (behind the heads and hindquarters) may have held straps to secure the bit over the horse\u2019s face. This work is said to be from Luristan, a region in western Iran known for its creation of bronze weapons, horse trappings, and standards in the Iron Age.",
