Nude Warrior
(Ancient Greece )
The dramatic posture and exaggerated twist of the neck date this piece to the mid Hellenistic period. The pose implies the presence of at least one other figure. The blue-green color, modeling of the muscles, and unpolished surface are typical of works from Alexandria.
