Talisman for White Horse 1 depicts the Uffington White Horse near Wantage. Formed from deep trenches filled with crushed white chalk and visible for miles, this huge equine hill figure was carved around 1000 BC in the late Bronze Age making it the oldest surviving hill figure in Britain. It is also the largest at 360 feet from head to tail.
