The elongated figure is solid cast, depicted striding forward with his left leg advanced. In his fisted raised right hand he once held a spear, and in his lower left, once a shield. He wears a high-crested helmet with raised cheek-pieces and a pair of greaves. To protect his torso, he wears a cuirass with long shoulder flaps and a raised ridge along its lower edge, with a row of pteryges and his tunic extending below. The panoply of protective armour was embellished with cold-worked incised and stippled details.
Similar elongated youthful warriors have been found in votive deposits at various sites in Umbria, including Todi, Foligno, Calvi and Ancarano. It is unclear if they represent the war god Laran or mortal warriors. For a related example from Ancarano, now in the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, see no. 24 in D.G. Mitten, Classical Bronzes.
