Made by a Greek sculptor in Sicily about 460-450 BC, found in 1979 on the Sicilian island of Motya (Mozia), and displayed at the British Museum in 2012.
The Motya (or Mozia) Charioteer is a marble statue dating from the ancient Greek Classical Period. It was found in October 1979 in the ancient city of Motya (Italian: Mozia), originally a Phoenician settlement which occupied the island of San Pantaleo off the coast of Sicily.[1][2] It is owned by, and on view in, the Museo Giuseppe Whitaker (inv. no. 4310) on the same island.
