Solid cast, this cista foot is composed of a winged nude male running to the right along a stylized wave pattern, above a lion’s paw. His legs are bent in the “Knielauf” position, an Archaic device used to convey rapid movement. His winged, pointed boots are distinctly Etruscan. This figure is related to an example in Malibu thought to depict Usil, the Etruscan sun god, and it is likely the figure here represents the same deity (see no. 73 in M. True and K. Hamma, eds., A Passion for Antiquities: Ancient Art from the Collection of Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman).
