Ombra della sera

Ombra della sera (Italian for "Shadow of the evening") is an Etruscan statue from the town of Velathri, later Volterra. It was first depicted in a 1737 collection of Etruscan antiquities. Similarities to the work of modern artist Alberto Giacometti have been frequently observed.

Features

The statue is made of bronze and represents a nude male, long, with very elongated body but head in normal proportions. It is estimated by archaeologists to date from the third century BC.
