Solid cast, this cista foot is composed of a winged nude male kneeling to the right along a stylized wave pattern, above a lion’s paw. His legs are bent in the “Knielauf” position, an Archaic device used to convey rapid movement. His winged, pointed boots are distinctly Etruscan. This figure, likely depicting the Etruscan sun god Usil, is related to a figure in the Getty Museum (see no. 73 in M. True and K. Hamma, eds., A Passion for Antiquities: Ancient Art from the Collection of Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman).
