Estátua de uma amazona ferida

1st–2nd century CE

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 153

As amazonas na batalha com Hércules, Aquiles, Teseu e outros heróis mitológicos eram uma tema frequente na arte grega. Esta estátua representa uma guerreira que perdeu suas armas e que sangra de uma ferida sob o seio direito. Sua túnica, que deixa um ombro exposto, está presa à cintura com um pedaço de corda improvisada do freio de seu cavalo. Apesar da sua situação angustiosa, a face da amazona não reflete dor ou fadiga. Ela se apoia apenas em um pilar, com o braço direito repousando sobre sua cabeça em um gesto utilizado frequentemente para indicar o sono ou a morte.
