an Ancient Greek hoplite or a warrior from a similar classical period.
The main figure is wearing an ornate gold Corinthian-style helmet with a prominent red horsehair-like crest (sagittal, running front to back). The torso is white with red line details and a blue border at the bottom, suggesting a tunic or linothorax. The arms are flesh-toned. The legs are also flesh-toned with printed gold greaves (shin armor) on the lower legs and a white pteruges-like (skirt strips) design.
The hoplite is holding a long gold spear (dory) in its right hand. In its left hand, it carries a round gold shield (aspis or hoplon). The shield is decorated with a central, stylized, grotesque face emblem, possibly a Gorgoneion (Medusa’s head), with red and black detailing.
In the upper right corner, there is a smaller inset image showing an alternate head for the minifigure. This head has the same gold Corinthian helmet (without the crest visible in this crop) and features a similar facial expression.
