Bronze statuette of a man
Originally, this bronze figure may have belonged to a cista (bronze or wooden toiletries box). Fashioned in hammered bronze or wood sheathed in bronze or silver, and frequently adorned with solid cast figures, these vessels were expertly crafted by master bronze smiths and attest to the significant technical achievements of Etruscan artisans.
