ragazzi..questo bronzetto potrebbe essere un falso.Notate la posizione delle gambe,forse la foto inganna ma a me sembrano leggermente divaricate mentre nei bronzetti nuragici sono sempre rigorosamente allineate ,a parte una, come dice Lilliu in "Sculture Nuragiche "

qui potete zoomare sulla foto:

purtroppo un piede essendo spezzato non si capisce...la prospettiva ugualmente non aiuta...spero sia proprio falso comunque!

ecco,ho trovato altre foto,mi sbagliavo, le gambe sono allineate tra loro.

guardate come salgono e scendono di prezzo da una casa d'asta all'altra. Non ho capito se lo vendono contemporaneamente o una l'ha acquistato dall'altra e rimesso in vendita ad un prezzo più alto
