[ Detailed Image Description: A small tan fragment of a larger bowl. The edges are ragged, and on the right side, there is a line where a piece was glued on. The fragment is covered in cracks. In the center of the fragment is a smiling figure on horseback. The figure is dressed in blue with red legs and a hair piece of some sort – perhaps a helmet. The horse is gray, and its position suggests it is running. Along the edges of the fragment are blue and red horse legs circling the center figure, suggesting that the larger bowl once had more characters.]
