The historical model for the pendant are Roman fittings for horse harnesses in the form of horse heads, which come from ancient Dacia, today's Romania, and were found in the hoard of Baiceni, among other places.
In the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, in addition to horse-headed tetraskelion brooches, swastika-shaped fittings whose four arms were designed as horse heads were also widespread in the Roman Empire.
This design element was particularly widespread in the Balkans among the auxiliary units of the Roman cavalry and may have had a religious significance as part of a horse cult.
A 1 metre long black leather strap is included.
