Italy, Etruria, Etruscan people, ca. 6th to early 5th century BCE. A cast bronze example of a form that originated in Archaic Greece, a kouros. This figure depicts a young man with his left foot forward. The figure is an homage to male youth, the highest ideal of beauty in the Classical world, and appears to be nude aside from possibly a tight cap on the head; he has wide, staring eyes, and a small nose and mouth. The figure is cast to stand on round pedestal with a spike that juts from the bottom of his feet so that he could be placed into a niche. This statuette was probably dedicated in a sanctuary, made to be a votive offering to the gods. Size: 1.1" W x 3.1" H (2.8 cm x 7.9 cm); 5.6" H (14.2 cm) on included custom stand.
