The Warrior of Capestrano is a tall limestone statue of a Picene warrior, dated to around the 6th century BC. The statue was found in the territory of the Vestini, but depicts a man with a Picene helmet.
It was discovered accidentally in 1934 by a labourer ploughing the field in the Italian town of Capestrano, along with a female statue in civilian attire, called the Lady of Capestrano.
