Fragment of a large terracotta statue of a man

Cypriot

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

There are two subjects preserved on the fragment. At the left are the head and forepart of a lion. A vertical strip in low relief separates him from a scene including a figure holding a large sword and, just above, the mouth of a lion. The fragment has been interpreted as being part of a decorated piece of body armor worn by a large, presumably male, figure.
