Etruscan warrior statuette (2)

Etruscan votive bronze statuette in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow.* Possibly from Monte Falterona. Later 5th cent. BC?

 

Like the Mars of Todi, the figure may have held a spear in his left hand and a libation dish in his (missing) right hand. In The Art of the Etruscan Armourer, I suggest that the warrior may be wearing lamellar armour: www.academia.edu/80275410/The_Art_of_the_Etruscan_Armourer

 

* Photographed in 2010, it has since been removed to the museum's store. collections.glasgowmuseums.com/mwebcgi/mweb?request=recor...
