Votive Figure of a Warrior with Helmet and Shield
View through Harvard Museums
Flat lead figurine of a cursorily depicted warrior walking to the right and wearing a helmet with a high crest. His upper body is hidden behind a round shield, which is decorated with a broad hatched border and a central dot. The details of helmet and face are not clear; the tip of the spear is broken off or was never rendered. The plain back of the figurine suggests that it was cast in a one-sided mold.
