Equestrian Figure of Babunja
A highlight from 100 years of Albanian-Austrian cooperation: from May to July 2025, ‘The Equestrian Figure of Babunja’ can
be seen in the Gold Cabinet - a fascinating work of art from late archaic Greek bronze art!
The small but impressive bronze statuette of an armed horseman - or perhaps a horsewoman - was discovered in 2018 in an ancient settlement near Apollonia in present-day Albania. After professional restoration at the Getty Museum (USA), the statuette is now on public display for the first time outside Albania at the NHM Vienna.
