Hephaestus

Hephaestus: The Greek God of Fire and the Forge

Hephaestus is one of the twelve Olympian gods, presiding over fire, the forge, metalworking, craftsmanship, and volcanoes. The divine artifacts of the gods were all forged by his own hands.

While traditionally depicted as a lame artisan god, this piece offers a creative reinterpretation, portraying him as a majestic, powerful, and bearded monarch, holding a smithing hammer to signify his identity.
