This precious bronze object is a votive, or devotional gift, made as an offering to the gods. Votives were hung from sacred trees or placed in sanctuaries around Greece. Once a shrine was full, the votives were ceremonially buried to make room for more offerings.

A fabulous example of excellent metalwork from the Geometric period, a time of dynamic growth and transformation, the era of Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey, that formed the roots of Classical Greece.
