About the sculpture
Stucco relief fragments in Sasanian style set in modern plaster support, representing a male figure with nimbus, dressed in coat and trousers and wearing a low crown, seated on the back of a stag in flying gallop. Head and chest of the rider are frontal. He holds on to the stag’s left antler with his left hand while carrying a detached antler (formerly the stag’s right?) in his extended right hand. Two ribbons flutter from his back.
