Man and Centaur

Description
Perhaps from Olympia. c. 750 BCE. Bronze, height 4-5/16" (11.1 cm). Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917. (17.190.2072).

Man and Centaur is nearly contemporary to the Funerary Krater.
The theme of warring men and centaurs was prominent in Greek art.
Elemental shapes form solid and negative space, making this sculpture interesting from multiple viewpoints.
