This piece, estimated to date to the early 20th century (early 1900s), is an excellent example of classical art.

Subject and Style: The warrior is depicted with a raised weapon (probably a spear or sword) and a shield, in a dynamic pose. The style is inspired by sculptures and archaeological finds from the Roman/Greek world.
Material and Finish: Made of bronze (or heavy metal alloy), the sculpture features an authentic archaeological patina due to aging and oxidation, with evident green-blue hues that enhance its perceived antiquity.
Condition: Structurally sound, with the charm of an object that has endured the ravages of time. The visible separation between the horses and the chariot is typical of these antique castings or period replicas and contributes to their authenticity.
