    Magnificent bronze with a medallic patina, based on a bronze work by Phidias, the best existing copy of which is in marble, dating from the second half of the 5th century B.C., currently in the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
    There is also a famous cast made by Luigi Valadier around 1780 in Rome for Pierre-Gaspard-Marie Grimod, comte d'Orsay (1748-1829), now in the Vatican Museums ( amazone mattei ).

    Dressed in a loose-fitting chiton held at the waist by a kolpos, with her left breast bared, this Amazon stands with one leg braced against a tree trunk, at the foot of which lies her pelta (Amazon shield). She has placed her helmet on the ground and, with an "absent" look on her face and her arm raised above her head, she seems to be releasing her bow to relieve herself.
    Mark on the terrace: F.Barbedienne. Foundry.

    Very good condition, magnificent patina.
    Barbedienne cast, signed on the terrace.
