This is a black-and-white photo of a stone horse’s head lying on its side. The surface looks rough and worn, with cracks and chips. The horse’s eyes are simple circles, and its mane is carved in short, uneven lines. A number "68" is carved into the stone near its jaw. The photo itself is old, with a faded, sepia tone. This style was used to document sculptures before color photography. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more objects like this.
