Object card

English, translated from the French record

Incomplete figurine of a male figure, lying half on its side with the upper body raised, arms and legs missing and chin broken; red-brown fabric with remains of a white slip, painted red and black, solid modelling, L. 7.9. The right flank on which the figurine rests is cut by a deep groove, so it probably was inserted into some support; perhaps it belonged to a group, and if the figure is a warrior (wearing a conical helmet with nasal?), it may be the defeated figure of a battle scene, thrown to the ground and wounded? Square K IV/ε10, Campanopetra, Salamis, Cyprus. Inventory SAL_2810; Tc_0929; 27 September 1967.

Pâte brun rouge + restes d'un engobe blanc peintures rouge et noire. Modelé plein. L. 7,9. Personnage à demi-couché sur le flanc, buste redressé. Le flanc droit sur lequel repose la figurine est entaillé d'un profond sillon : celle-ci devait donc s'insérer dans un support quelconque. Peut-être faisait-elle partie d'un groupe : si ce personnage est un guerrier (coiffé d'un casque conique à nasal ?), on peut voir en lui le vaincu d'une scène de combat, jeté à terre et blessé ?
