This little bronze is about 6" high, including stand and 5" high minus the stand. I found a few of these on E of the Bay, selling for a few tens of dollars. Not sure of the story behind these, but guessing perhaps a tourist item sold in Sardinia/Italy? Also not sure if this one came pre-diseased or if it was part of the "patina". Some of the examples I found were in immaculate condition.
Plaque reads:
"Nuragic Sardinia archer and a realization The Forge"

No idea where/when I got this, just happened to notice it sitting on a shelf in my office so decided to post it. I am certain I would not have paid more than a dollar for it.
Very cool warrior
Thanks for your comment, Jenni!
