Samos (Greece), a revered sanctuary of Here, was acquired in 1915. This fragmentary torso, crafted from grey marble around 530 BC, embodies a Hoplite, a formidable Greek infantry soldier clad in full armor with an Ionic helmet and cuirass. The statue stands as a votive offering in the Heraion of Samos during the late Archaic period. Though the donor's identity remains shrouded in mystery, the warrior's enigmatic presence persists.
