About the Item
The first example of this sculpture we have seen, this striking depiction of a male gladiator -- clothed in nothing but a short mail skirt - is shown in the midst of battle, one arm raised with dagger in hand, the other holding a shield decorated with another battle scene in bas relief. The bronze is beautifully patinated in two tones -- a dark charcoal patina and a silvery tone. The sculpture is signed by Bruno Zach, who was known for his figural sculptures in the early 20th century.

Bruno Zach
Bruno Zach was an Austrian art deco sculptor of Ukrainian birth who worked in the early-to-mid 20th century. He emigrated to Austria as a young man and studied at the Vienna Academy under sculptors Hans Bitterlich and Josef Müllner. He worked in Austria as well as in Germany. Famous for his Fine bronzes made for the Wiener Bronze, or Vienna Bronze manufactory, the Ukrainian-born Zach was best known for his figures of flirtatious, sexually liberated young women.
