The equestrian altar figure, Originating from West Africa, between the19th to early 20th century CE, particularly Nigeria, within the Yorubaland and among the Yoruba peoples, portrays a male and female Ogboni rider atop a cast-brass horse. Traditionally given as gifts to newlyweds, it symbolizes unity and is associated with the Ogboni society, which played key roles in burial customs, justice, and leadership selection. It likely represented the king’s male ancestors and served as a counterbalance to royal authority.

The Object features a horse with legs, a curved tail, and a detailed bridle framing its head. Two nude riders adorn the horse, distinguished by gender, with the female rider identified by her pendulous breasts. The entire figure is adorned with a fine patina.
