Description
13th-6th century BC. A bronze figure of a standing nude male with pinched facial details, stub arms and legs, large discoid pad above the head; casting flash to body and neck. 32 grams, 82mm (3 1/4") From the collection of a North West London gentleman; acquired in the 1980s. Cf. similar figural details in Legrain, L. Luristan Bronzes in the University Museum, Pennsylvania, 1934, Plate III, item 8. The presence of casting flash on the lower body and rear of the neck implies that the figure was not finished as such excrescences would normally be removed on opening the mould.
