Early horse representations in the steppes.
(A) The earliest clear image of a steppe horse, embossed on a silver cup from the Maikop-Oshad chieftain’s grave, Russia (107) dated 3520–3350 calBCE at 2σ (4645 ± 23 BP; OxA-X-3106-13), located at the ecotone between the North Caucasus Kuban piedmont and the Volga-Don steppes where modern DOM2 horses evolved, so probably a horse of the DOM2 clade. The large head, stiff mane, thick neck, and partly tufted tail is like a modern E. ferus przewalskii (E. przewalksii) of the DOM1 clade, picture on the right.
