Statuette of a Nuragic Warrior 18th Century before J-C

About the Item

Very beautiful statuette of a Nuraghic warrior dating from 18 century before J-C. The warrior rests on a hollow base. He carries in his right hand a weapon, surely a knife, and in his left hand a shield decorated with a four-petal flower. He is wearing a headdress decorated with two horns. This statuette was realized in bronze by a technique of casting of "lost wax" (a process of precision), and carries a label in the hollow base: "bronzetto nuragico guerriero" (bronze nuragic "warrior"). The Nuraghic culture makes its appearance in Sardinia, in the age of bronze. Its name is derived from the Nuraghe, a carasteristic monument of this culture: a stone tower in the shape of truncated cone. In Sardinia, we count not less than 20 000 Nuraghes. They practice the art of bronzettos, small bronze statuettes representing daily life, characters of different social classes, animals and many others.
