Description from the seller

Bust of Athena
Dimensions: 100 cm (height) x 38 cm (width) x 38 cm (depth)
Technique: Lost wax casting
Material: Bronze
Base: Marmo
Made according to the ancient tradition of the Chiurazzi Foundry

The Bust of Athena is an impressive bronze sculpture created using the lost-wax casting technique, inherited from the ancient tradition of the Fonderia Chiurazzi, renowned for its fidelity to traditional methods of craftsmanship. The work captures the essence of the goddess of wisdom and strategy, evoking the sense of authority and protection that Athena embodies in classical mythology.

The meticulous craftsmanship of the bronze reveals every detail with extraordinary finesse: the richly decorated helmet, a symbol of its warrior nature, harmoniously blends with the serene composure of the face, an expression of contained intelligence and power. The sculpture rests on a solid marble base, which enhances its majesty and adds further prestige to the work.

With its monumental size, the Athena Bust is not only a tribute to classical art but also a symbol of eternal beauty and wisdom, a piece that enriches any space with its solemn and timeless presence.
