Description from the seller

A small bronze Kunstkammer figure of a warrior child
Northern Europe, 17th century

Depicting a nude child warrior standing confidently while leaning on a shield and holding a long spear in his right hand. With deeply modeled curly hair and a diagonally strapped sash across the torso. Rich, naturally aged patina with areas of casting porosity consistent with early bronze casting techniques. Likely intended as a cabinet object for a collector’s Kunstkammer.
Mounted on a modern clear display base. Spear possibly later.

Dimensions: approx. 11 cm high (including spear) x 4.5 cm wide

Condition: Age-related wear, casting flaws, and minor surface oxidation as visible in the photos.

Provenance: Belgian private collection

A charming and expressive small bronze figure with a strong presence — a wonderful addition to a cabinet of curiosities.
