Bronze statuette of a centaur

Etruscan or South Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 152

This small sculpture emanates considerable power through the treatment of the centaur's arms and legs, all in a position of maximum tension. The energy suffuses a form that is lithe and softly modeled. The figure is of a piece with its plinth, indicating that it may have been attached to a utensil.
