Stake attention in this memory
An ancient stone sculpture, likely marble, is displayed in a modern indoor exhibition space within an airport terminal in Fiumicino, Italy. The sculpture depicts a group consisting of a horse carrying a child figure, with an adult male figure walking alongside. The horse is light-colored and stands on all four legs, supporting a smaller, nude child figure with curly hair who is seated on its back. The child's arms are missing, and its face is turned upwards. To the left of the horse, an adult male figure, draped in fabric, stands with his head turned towards the horse. This figure is missing its right arm from the shoulder and its left forearm. Its lower legs and feet exhibit minor damage. The sculptural group rests on a rough, light-colored rectangular stone base, which is elevated on a smooth, dark, reflective rectangular pedestal. Red velvet ropes, supported by silver stanchions, delineate the display area around the sculpture. In the background, a modern airport environment is visible, featuring a light-colored slatted ceiling with recessed lighting, glass display cases containing other ancient artifacts (including a headless, armless draped torso), and large windows or screens reflecting reversed text, such as "Would you like to hear our story?". The floor is a light-colored polished surface.
