Fragment of an Archaistic Relief with a Warrior, late 1st century B.C. Additional Info: A fragmentary relief occupied by the figure of a warrior preserved from his head to his hips; part of his face and right arm are missing. The relief is very low. The muscular warrior is turned slightly to the right, but his head is turned sharply to the left. He wears a cuirass and a helmet with a long crest. His left hand holds his scabbard while his right hand pushes the sword into it. Behind and to the right, between his lower left arm and torso, is the upper edge of a large curved object. Above and behind this is another figure or object indicated by the edges of two planes ascending to the right, the near incised with two curved lines.
