AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent sculpture depicting the bust of Diana in all her uniqueness, in marble powder (stone cast).
Diana is an Italic goddess, mistress of the woods, protector of wild animals and women, who guaranteed painless childbirth, and dispenser of sovereignty. Often this Roman goddess is associated with Artemis, the Greek goddess, but according to some scholars the fusion of the two figures occurred only later.
According to legend, Diana, a young virgin skilled in hunting, irascible as she was vindictive, loved solitude and was an enemy of feasts; she used to roam in isolated places. In the name of Love she had taken a vow of chastity and for this reason she was protective, only towards those who — like Hippolytus and the nymphs who promised to maintain virginity — entrusted themselves to her.
The lot is suitable for enriching luxurious interiors, outbuildings, rustic or mountain houses.
A proper shipping of the object with parcel tracking is guaranteed.
