This magnificent sculpture is likely a testament to the worship of the Heavenly Twins ('Dioscuri'), its origins tracing back to a temple or shrine built in their honor. It's possible that it once stood proudly near the esteemed Temple of Mithras, a revered site in Roman London. Crafted from intricately carved limestone, this striking relief depicts a majestic horse and rider, dating back to the 3rd Century AD. Discovered remarkably close to the ancient temple complex, this sculpture remains an exquisite relic of the past.
