Archeology and World Cultures
This bronze figure representing a warrior or a god of war is most likely Etruscan. The figure is missing a spear that would have been held in the right hand, and the breastplate decoration is reminiscent of armour typically made of bronze in the fifth century. The figure, probably a votive object to be offered as a gift in a temple or sanctuary, retains the very particular stylistic qualities of Etruscan bronze artistic production, even though commerce would have brought goods and craftspeople from Greece and further afield into Etruria.
