Bronze statue of Hercules, Etruscan, 3rd century B.C. Small votive statuette of a naked Hercules striding to the right. His right arm is bent and raised; most of the forearm, along with the hand and club, is broken off. The left arm is extended and raised, pointing slightly downward. The lion’s skin is draped over the upper arm. The forearm is broken off. The locks on the forehead are combed upward in waves, with the hair behind them lying more closely to the head. The mouth and nose are sculpted in a naive style; the eyes are marked by almond-shaped incisions. Beautiful, olive-green patina. The left leg, broken above the knee, has been reattached. Mounted on a Plexiglas base. Height without base: 6 cm; with base: 11 cm. The statuette’s design corresponds to a common type, of which several similar examples are known. CULTURAL HERITAGE!
