Description from the seller

Pair of Centaurs, Chiron and Nessus

The centaur belongs to that group of Roman mythological figures that also withstand the medieval bestiary. Half men and half horse, they were champions of archery and wine lovers (often associated with the figure of Dionysus, god of wine). Our pair of sculptures is depicted with meticulous detail and represents an important group of sculptures with great charm.


Dimensions

30 x 16 x 47 cm (elderly centaur) / 30 x 16 x 54 cm (young centaur)
ancient green patina
