Bronze statuette of Geryon

Geryon shown as a single body with three heads. Each head has a helmet, the crests of which have broken off. His right arm is raised but the hand missing; it probably once held a spear. The left arm is folded across the front of his body and most likely once held a shield. The surface of the statuette is pitted and worn. The outlines of greaves are faintly visible on his legs.
