This enameled metal brooch depicts a figure on a white horse galloping across a crescent-shaped green base. The rider, wearing a turquoise tunic with gold dots and a striped turban, reaches backward. Above, a purple-robed figure holds a black cross. Textured purple and green foliage frames the scene. Gold-toned metal glints through vibrant enamel, highlighting the horse's red trappings and the rhythmic, dotted patterns adorning the figures' flowing garments.
