Rare original bronze commemorative trophy figure from the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.
The dynamic male athlete is depicted in classical Greek style (nude torso, shorts, sandals), standing triumphantly with right arm raised high holding a flaming torch, left hand holding a smaller torch/flame symbol – a direct reference to the first-ever Olympic torch relay introduced in 1936.
The circular black marble base features a gilt-bronze plaque engraved in Gothic script:
"Die Olympischen Spiele 1936 Berlin"
with the five interlaced Olympic rings.
This is **not** an official competition medale, but a **special presentation trophy** awarded for outstanding performance, participation in the torch relay, or propaganda purposes during the Games. Such figures are extremely scarce on the market.
