It would have been the perfect place to do it. Why don’t you go on and say what you were thinking. ;0)
I’m sorry but I do not see a woman on a horse but a man on a horse. I do not a warrior being lassoed but more likely the rider-less horse next to him.
Leave it to a bunch of very sick politically motivated idiot to find a picture and make up a whole story out of it without the slightest bit evidence. I just wonder what they would do with an ink blot test properly administered.
Perhaps it is Caitlyn. Yes, looks like a man to me as well.
I was going to say that the “woman” was born Bruce and took the gold in the 450 BC Olympics. Maybe with the East German team.
Reality check — the longhaired barbarian cavalry cultures probably led to the legends. Will ping this when I get back to the HQ.
Check out the Photo Gallery slideshow at the site link. It is of various archaeological finds recently in the news, and is very interesting....................
Thanks Red Badger.
The vase is a better match to the Amazon legend than Lynda Carter could be. The Amazons were supposed to have bound/burned/cut off their right breasts to avoid interfering with archery. Lynda Carter fails spectacularly and symmetrically in that respect.
Xena warrior princess attempting to simulate wonder woman.
I was just trying to remember the name of that movie as I was thinking the same thing.
LOL, that’s even better. But it sure does not look like a woman to me.
Herodotus, with his usual flare....

Flare? Oh, dear! For illumination?
I have looked at the image about 3 times in an attempt to find anything about the figure that suggests it’s a female. Methinks the researcher is batty.
I think it was drawn by the same guy who draws the Duluth underwear commercials on TV. You know, the no stink underwear by Duluth?
I am still trying to figure that one out too.
You can’t really see what is going on in the rest of the picture, but there is someone holding a spear and shield in front of the figure, so it seems to be a battle scene.
Sorry, I watch almost no TV and, thanks to the DVR, I see no commercials, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
Just ads for men’s work clothes from a company called Duluth they use a cartoon- like mans drawing that looks like that antique.
