Bronze statuette of a Scythian mounted archer

Etruscan, Campanian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 170

This statuette, consisting of a separately made archer and his horse, undoubtedly belongs to the lid ornament of a Campanian bronze cinerary urn. The archer wears the distinctive Phrygian cap and fitted jacket of a Scythian. A complete cinerary urn with four similar archers on the lid (40.11.3) is on view in this case.
