Nuragic Bronze Warrior Figurine Sculpture Sardinian Bronze Age Style Italy 1960s

About the Item

This striking bronze represents a four-armed warrior in the style of Sardinian Bronze Age figures, known as "bronzetti." Crafted in the 1960s in Italy, the figure exudes a unique patina, reminiscent of ancient artifacts unearthed from the Nuragic civilization (circa 1800–500 BCE). These original bronze statuettes were often votive offerings symbolizing strength, protection, or deities and were intricately cast using the lost-wax technique. The figure stands on a solid wooden base, emphasizing its timeless design and sculptural appeal. The exaggerated features and dynamic stance pay homage to the artistry of Sardinian craftsmen, making this a compelling piece for lovers of history and mid-20th-century Italian decorative arts. Historical Context: Sardinia's Nuragic civilization is famous for its mysterious megalithic structures and bronze statues, which hold significant archaeological importance. These bronzetti figures have been discovered in sanctuaries and burial sites, embodying a blend of religious and cultural expression. This mid-century sculpture captures the essence of these ancient relics, connecting past artistry with modern appreciation.

Statuette of a Nuragic Warrior 18th Century before J-C
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Very beautiful statuette of a Nuraghic warrior dating from 18 century before J-C. The warrior rests on a hollow base. He carries in his right hand a weapon, surely a knife, and in his left hand a shield decorated with a four-petal flower. He is wearing a headdress decorated with two horns. This statuette was realized in bronze by a technique of casting of "lost wax" (a process of precision), and carries a label in the hollow base: "bronzetto nuragico guerriero" (bronze nuragic "warrior"). The Nuraghic culture makes its appearance in Sardinia, in the age of bronze...
