Figure - AEGILUS MOUNTING HIS WAR CHARIOT - Metal, Stone

The sculpture depicted is made of finely worked and chased bronzed brass, resting on a polished Ionic stone that ranges from yellow to honey, amber with black veins—its specific color I cannot specify, but it is very beautiful. It depicts the legendary Greek hero Achilles, armed with a shield and spear, a central figure in Homer's Iliad during the Trojan War, standing on his war chariot with his two trusted and unstoppable horses, Xanthus and Balius. These are collectible sculptures, even though they are unsigned; they are well-finished, of excellent craftsmanship, and made with precious materials.
