Centaur of Lefkandi [From The Human Figure in Greek Art catalog: Greek ministry of Culture/National Gallery of Art, Washington, 1988]
— Maybe the friendly centaur Chiron.
— Gash on Left Knee [Herakles accidentally hit with with a poison arrow; in pain he retired to his cave, where even his own medicines did not help. Immortality prevented death, so Prometheus took his immortality.]
— Local mainland art development
— Large ears = daemonic look
— Six fingers on right hand = more than human.
— Eyes probably inlaid
–Wheelmade body: Typical Mycenaean workmanship.
— Clay lump on left shoulder. Maybe tree branch.
— Head found in one tomb; body in another. Such a valuable family heirloom each member took part of it to his own tomb.
— Holes: firing vents.
