Bronze statuette of a warrior

From Karditsa, Thessaly. Around 700 BC.
(EAM/NAM 12831)

He wears an early type of conical helmet, a waistband indicated by multiple rings and has a figure-eight shield of Boeotian type, hanging from the baldric on his back. The neck, the genitals and the shins are stressed excessively, exposing the robust male body and the strength of a outstanding warrior, who most probably represents the brave hero Achilles.
