Nuragic Bronzes and CivilizationThe Nuragic bronzes (or bronzetti nuragici) are small cast bronze statues created by the Nuragic civilization, which flourished in Sardinia from the 18th to the 2nd century BCE. These figurines depict warriors, deities, chiefs, and everyday life scenes, often used for religious or votive purposes.

The Nuragic civilization is known for its megalithic stone towers (nuraghi), which served as fortresses, temples, and dwellings. Their society was highly structured, with skilled metalworkers and seafarers.

The Shardana were a mysterious group of sea-faring warriors often identified as mercenaries in Egyptian records. Many scholars believe they were connected to the Nuragic people, sharing military equipment, such as horned helmets and large round shields.

This model allows collectors and history enthusiasts to own a piece of Sardinian heritage, celebrating the craftsmanship and enigmatic legacy of the Nuragic civilization.
