Hoplitenfigur eines Kriegers, Bronze, Umbrien, 5. Jahrhundert vor Christus
Eindrucksvolle Bronzefigur eines italisch-umbrischen Kriegers mit mächtigem, geschweiftem Helmbusch. Der Hoplit in Schrittstellung, die Rechte angewinkelt erhoben, der linke Arm seitlich nach vorne gestreckt. In der Rechten hielt er ursprünglich wohl einen Speer, in der Linken einen Schild. Von der Bewaffnung zeichnen sich noch gut der Helm ab, an dem sich neben dem mächtigen Helmbusch noch seitlicher Flügelschmuck erhalten hat, ferner der Brustpanzer, der in Hüfthöhe mit einem Lederschuppenpanzer(?) abschließt. Beinschienen lassen sich nur noch vage erkennen. Oberfläche an den Beinen, Armen und am Rücken angegriffen. Konserviert und im Bereich der Füße mit minimalen Ergänzungen. Schöne Patina. Gesockelt. Höhe 27,5 cm (mit Sockel 29,5 cm).
Für derartige Votivfiguren vergleiche den Ausstellungskatalog L'Art des Peuples Italiques 3000 à 300 avant J.-C., Genève, Musée Rath, 1993-1994 (1993) 239-249.

An Umbrian hoplite votive figure, bronze, 5th century B.C.
Impressive bronze figure of an Umbrian warrior with a majestic, curved helmet bush. The hoplite with the right raised at an angle, the left arm stretched forward at the side. Originally he probably held a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left. Of the armour, the helmet is still clearly visible, on which, in addition to the mighty helmet bush, wing ornaments have been preserved; furthermore, the breastplate, which ends at hip level with a leather scale armour(?). Leg splints can only be vaguely recognised. Surface corroded on the legs, arms and back. With minimal additions in the area of the feet. Beautiful patina. Socketed. Height 27.5 cm (with base 29.5 cm).
For votive figures of this kind see e.g. the exhibition catalogue L'Art des Peuples Italiques 3000 à 300 avant J.-C., Genève, Musée Rath, 1993-1994 (1993) 239-249.

Provenance: Swiss private collection, acquired from the estate of a Swiss collector.
