6th-early 5th century BCE
Upper part of a flat lead figurine of a warrior facing left. Only the head with crested helmet, the shield, and the thigh of one leg survive. The round shield has a star pattern inside a broad border. The plain back of the figurine suggests that it was cast in a one-sided mold.
