Bryan said...: The concept of a chariot archer has always flummoxed me. Shooting an arrow at an enemy while balancing in a small cart being pulled by a horse moving at breakneck speed? Now that's skill.

Not to mention their horses have awesome hair.; July 9, 2009 8:03 AM
Ralph said...: The sepia leaves this archer and steed in motion in a light bronze - as the craftsman formed this art in the day. The sepia is totally in character with this ancient masterpiece!; July 9, 2009 8:49 AM
