Description from the seller

Bronze-patinated plaster statuette depicting one of the famous Riace Bronzes, mounted on a travertine base.

This fascinating reproduction of one of the two famous Riace Bronzes captures all the sculptural strength and silent magnetism of the great heroes of antiquity. Made of patinated bronze plaster, with precious amber hues, the figure exudes a unique intensity, capable of transforming a simple corner of a home into a small museum space.
The travertine stone base, with its naturally porous and warm surface, creates a perfect dialogue with the figure above: the solidity of the earth and the echo of the classical era that rises towards the observer's gaze. It is a balance that lends depth, elegance, and a surprising stage presence for an object of this size.
Placed on a bookshelf, a display table, or a studio desk, this statuette carries with it the timeless charm of Greek art, adding a touch of tranquility, memory, and timeless beauty to the environment.

Excellent condition, with a patina that enhances the craftsmanship of the object.

Proper packaging and traceable shipping across Europe.
