2 MINERVAs: 'Small Bronzes' - Two [votive] statuettes of fighting Minerva, both wear Aegis Etrusco-Umbrian, 'Maestro Fiesole' Workshop 450-400 BC. 'In the Umbro-Sabellian area the production of small bronze statues developed around the beginning of the 5th c. BC.' 'Divinities are often reproduced, among which the portrayal of Minerva on the attack, wearing a high-crested Attic helmet and a cuirass with a gorgoneion in the middle of the breast, an outstandingly valuable specimen from the 2nd-half of the 5th c. BC, attributed to a master working in northern Umbria.' [Txt ©ETRU]
