I like how you can see all the horses on the reverse. The bust, is nice even though the front portion of the face is a little beat the helmet and hair detail make a an overall very pleasing portrait.

Yes it was quite cheap in auction: 27 euros incl shipping.. Thats the advantage of sellers within europe..they are not operative on ebay.com so there are less bidders.
