Copper plate

Got this from a thrift store. Any information would be much appreciated.

 

Grek archer, albeit I'm wondering if it's meant to represent Sagittarius.

 

I was thinking the same thing. The bow is exactly the right shape. It also has the look of a Summer Camp project, but it could be anything.

 

What does the back side look like?

 

Thanks for the help. Here's a photo of the back.

 

This is an Etruscan archer, there was a revival in interest in the Etruscan with the excavation of Pompeii and also later in the 19th century. I was quite a popular motif on pottery in the mid 19th century. Not sure that helps you a great deal with this though, perhaps it was just decorative, or given the way it hangs I wonder if it was originally a gong.

 

I would certainly think that was a craft project. School or camp.

Two separate sheets of copper with mirror images,doubt it was a camp or school project.
