Description:
Stunning bronze figure that represents a warrior from the Nuragic Sanctuary of Abini in Sardinia. This beautifully crafted piece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Nuragic civilization, which flourished in Sardinia between the 10th and 7th centuries BC.
The site of Abini was a place of worship for the Sardinians, and many bronzetti, or bronze votive offerings, were made during this period. The "Demon of Teti," a well-known example with four arms and four eyes, is now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. In 1865, a young boy convinced some farmers to dig in the area, which yielded an array of bronze votive offerings.
This bronze figure is a unique and beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Nuragic civilization. It is a must-have for any collector of ancient art or those interested in the history of Sardinia and the Nuragic civilization. Display it in your home or office to add a touch of history and culture to your decor.
