Talk:Equestrian statue of Thomas Munro

"Stirrupless majesty"
I suspect the reason for the absence of stirrups or saddle is neither oversight nor Munro's propensity for bareback riding, but sculptural convention: a visual reference to the famous equestrian statue of emperor Marcus Aurelius on the Capitoline Hill in Rome.
