High-quality bronze of a nude youth on a rectangular base. The strictly frontal posture, the reduction of the body’s volume in profile, the slightly advanced left leg, and the arms held close to the body with the hands laid flat along the thighs follow the stylistic and compositional conventions characteristic of archaic kouroi. The body is slender and schematically rendered, with emphasized shoulders and chest, a slender torso with narrow waist, and muscular legs. Short, strong neck. The buttocks are notably flattened at their highest point. Overall, the figure’s form is defined by graceful contour lines and balanced proportions. The youth’s hair is cap-like, descending to the shoulders while leaving the ears exposed. The forehead hair and tips are further detailed with fine incised lines. The elongated oval face is characterized by almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and narrow lips. The deep incision between the lips gives the impression that the mouth is slightly opened. The typical archaic smile is absent. Our figure stands in the tradition of small Etruscan bronzes that were produced from the 7th century B.C. onwards and were often offered as votive gifts in sanctuaries. The depiction of youth as a kouros follows Greek prototypes and symbolizes ideal youth, beauty, and ritual purity. The figure probably represents a god (e.g., Apollo/Apulu) or a devotee offering his figure to a deity. Bronze kouros statuettes were also used decoratively, for example as supports for thymiateria (stands for burning aromatic substances; such a use can, however, be excluded in this case due to the fully finished top of the head). Intact; a small irregularity in the forehead hair is due to the casting process. Strands of hair and individual facial details were finished in cold work.
