Goodwood Race Prize-Bucephalus tamed by Alexander the Great,1854. Creator: Unknown.

Goodwood Race Prize - Bucephalus tamed by Alexander the Great, 1854. 'The second prize is, in fact, an actual Cup. It has been manufactured at the establishment of Mr. Hancock, New Bond street, after a design of M. Lami, the celebrated French artist...The Cup, which rises from a dish calculated to hold flowers, &c., is three feet high, and is in the Cinque-Cento style, elaborately executed in bright and frosted silver. Around the centre of the Cup is a series of groups, very fine in design, representing the horse Bucephalus tamed by Alexander the Great. The whole is vigorous and bold in outline. The handle is partly formed by the figure of a female, a marine deity; and on the summit is a statuette swan, with outspread wings'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
