This horse armor, bronze frontlets intended to protect the 'face',were originally purchased in the 1970s and described as being for a pair of chariot horses. They are rarely seen individually let alone in pairs. Each has a cast ideogram to the inside, the larger of the two having been translated as meaning "Wan", or 10,000. The ideogram in the other has yet to be translated.
For more information as to the type and condition, please see the authentication report provided by Priceless Past's Dealer/Collector Services in the enlargements (more about Priceless Past in my faq and links pages). The frontlets date to the Western Zhou Dynasty (1100-770 B.C.). Additional phtos, microphotos on request, and can also be included on cd to the buyer. Lengths are, respectively: 20.5 cm. / slightly over 8 inches; 18.5 cm. / almost 7.25 inches |
