Description: Umbrian Warrior: This bronze statuette depicts a warrior standing proudly with his right arm raised – originally holding a spear – and his left arm slightly lowered – originally carrying his shield. He wears a tall crested and winged helmet, breast plate and short kilt. The figurine probably portrays a soldier. Its elongated form reflects Umbrian traditions, rather than Etruscan. The Umbrians were an Italian people linguistically related to Latin and Oscan, inhabiting the Apennine mountains to the east of Etruria – and the chief enemies of their western neighbors.

Bronze figurine; Etruria or Umbria; Classical – Hellenistic period, ca. 4th cent. BCE
