fun fact: 
Unusually, this figure places his hand on hip with thumb in front, fingers in back.

digital description: 
Cast in one piece with its hollow base (perhaps designed to crown a candelabrum), this small bronze portrays a young man wearing a semicircular cloak adorned with punched circles along its edges. This likely represents an embroidered <em>tebenna</em>, an Etruscan forerunner to the Roman <em>toga praetexta</em>. He appears to stride forward, his right leg trailing behind and right hand extended, perhaps once holding an object.
