Shield from the Votive Figurine of a Warrior
View through Harvard Museums
Only the shield survives of this flat lead figurine of a warrior. The round shield is decorated with a 13-petalled rosette surrounded by a plain border. Break points indicate the position of the now lost neck, legs, and tips of helmet crest and spear, showing that the warrior was walking to the left, with his spear pointed downwards and to the front. The plain back suggests that the figurine was cast in a one-sided mold.
