| Description: | Giant hurling rock. First interpretation: youth figurine hurling rock. Fragmentary relief. Broken on bottom and right side. The left arm and legs of the giant missing. The top and back smooth but uneven; left side curved. At the right of the fragment, a nude giant, looking left, holding a large boulder in both hands over his head. Over his left shoulder, a bit of drapery. In the field behind him, to his right, part of a lion skin in low relief. At the left edge of the fragment, a deep curving depression. Fine style. Pinkish buff clay; rather coarse, with bits. A try piece for a mold for metal; perhaps for a cuirass (?). | |
