Description from the seller

Pair of Centaurs, Chiron and Nessus

The centaur belongs to that group of Roman mythological figures that still survive unscathed even in medieval bestiaries. Half man and half horse, they were archery champions and wine lovers (they are often associated with the figure of Dionysus, god of wine). Our pair of sculptures is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and represents an important group of sculptures of great charm.


Dimensions

cm 30 x 16 x 47 h (old centaur) / cm 30 x 16 x h. 54 (young centaur)
ancient green patina
