Horse Head bronze sculpture - Ancient Greece - Museum Reproduction

Part of a Hellenistic bronze statue of a group of horses, dated to around 250 BC. It is a rare surviving original bronze statue from Ancient Greece and a rare example in Greek sculpture of a racehorse. An exact museum reproduction made of solid bronze oxidized to resemble the archaic appearance of the original. Symbol of wealth and status. Horses were integral to a thriving economy and an essential part of victorious warfare. Figurines have been found in abundance in ancient Greek religious sanctuaries, where they would have been sold to visitors to leave as offerings to the gods.

All our bronze items, are cast in Greece, using the traditional 'lost wax' method. As nothing is mass-produced, there will inevitably be slight variations in patination and coloring. Each piece is, therefore, unique.
