Lot Essay

The warrior wears a helmet decorated with a long frontal feather and carried a bow and spear over the left shoulder. In front of him stands an unusually large sword, perhaps ceremonial.
For another example carrying a large spear see no. 97 in Thimme, Kunst und Kultur Sardiniens vom Neolithikum bis zum Ende der Nuraghenzeit, Karlsruhe, 1980.
