EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient limestone figurine, dating back to the 6th century BC, showcases a man wearing a pointed cap or helmet and a Cypriot belt. Known as the Statue of a Man Wearing a Pointed Cap or Helmet and a Cypriot Belt, this artifact is believed to originate from the Sanctuary of Apollo at Phrangissa in Tamassos, Cyprus. The man is depicted barefoot, with clenched hands and a clenched interior, suggesting a sense of determination or prayer. The cap or helmet, which is adorned with incisions, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the figure. The Cypriot belt, with its oval shape and incisions, accentuates the man's waistline and adds to the overall visual appeal of the sculpture. This figurine is an excellent example of the Cypro-Archaic II period, which is characterized by the use of naturalistic features and a focus on the human form. The man's face, with its expressive features, adds a sense of individuality and personality to the sculpture. The figurine is now on display at the British Museum in London, England, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
