My doctoral research project aims to develop our knowledge and understanding of schematic bronze figurines from pre-Roman Italy, using the collections available in British museums as a core data set. These simple anthropomorphic or zoomorphic bronzes are, at present, understudied, and their meanings and roles remain largely enigmatic. In view of this, my research project would seek to offer new insights into their development across time and space, as well as their ritual and social significance. This will also help museums, in Britain and elsewhere, to better contextualise and display these figurines, and to move beyond their conceptualisation as 'minor art'. Votive bronze figurines from pre-Roman central Italy, of which schematic figurines are a subgroup, are known in their thousands, and are well represented in museum collections in both Europe and North America. Efforts have been made to catalogue, date, and provenance Italic 1 votive figurines, and they are considered as playing an important part in the celebrated 2 Etruscan metalworking tradition. The less well-known schematic figurines are included in 3 the earliest comprehensive catalogue and classification system of Archaic Italian bronze votive figurines, compiled by Giovanni Colonna. Most schematic figurines are now described by affinity to the workshops Colonna established, such as the 'Esquiline' Group (86 figurines representing male and female offerers); the 'Nocera Umbra' Group (circa 170 figurines, some representing male and female offerers, others representing Mars in a warrior stance); and the 'Foligno' Group (25 figurines, all but one representing Mars). More recently, schematic 4 votive figurines have occupied an important place in academic work dealing with Umbrian social structure. These are region-specific discussions in the service of a wider quest for 5 understanding the history of state development in Umbria.

我的博士研究项目旨在以意大利前罗马前意大利的示意性青铜雕像的了解和理解，将大英博物馆的收藏作为核心数据集。目前，这些简单的拟人化或动物形态青铜已经被研究了，它们的含义和角色在很大程度上仍然是神秘的。鉴于这一点，我的研究项目将寻求对它们在跨时空的发展以及其仪式和社会意义的新见解。这也将帮助博物馆在英国和其他地方，以更好地化和展示这些雕像，并超越其为“次要艺术”的概念。来自罗马前中部意大利中部的奉献铜雕像，示意性小雕像是一个子组，在其成千上万中闻名，并且在欧洲和北美的博物馆收藏中都很好地代表。已经为目录，日期和出处的Italic 1奉献雕像做出了努力，它们被认为是著名的2 Etruscan金属加工传统中起着重要的作用。众所周知的示意图雕像包含在乔瓦尼·科隆纳（Giovanni Colonna）编写的最早的综合目录和古代青铜奉献小雕像中的最早的综合目录和分类系统中。现在，大多数示意图的小雕像都是通过对成立的研讨会的亲和力来描述的，例如“ Esquiline”群体（代表男性和女性供应商的86个雕像）； “ Nocera umbra”小组（大约170个小雕像，有些代表男性和女性供应者，其他代表着战士立场的火星）；和“福尔尼奥”（Foligno）群（25个小雕像，除一个代表火星的雕像）。最近，示意图4奉献的小雕像占据了与翁布里亚社会结构有关的学术工作中的重要地位。这些是针对更广泛追求的地区特定的讨论，以了解5了解翁布里亚国家发展历史的历史。
