The Mourning pensive Goddess Athena relief copy from Acropolis Museum , Replica relief from Greek Museum



The so-called Mourning Athena is an Athenian marble relief dated circa 460 BC. The goddess, marked by her helmet of the Corinthian type, wears a peplos, clasped at the shoulders and cinched at the waist. She rests her right hand on her hip and crosses her left leg over her right. Her left hand grasps a spear on which she leans, and her head is inclined. The meaning of her bowed head has been a matter of debate since the relief's excavation from the Acropolis of Athens in 1888. As the conventional name suggests, many have taken the posture to indicate sadness or pensiveness, and thus to interpret the rectangular object on the viewer's right as a stele, . The exact nature of the rectangular object, too, is unclear – some suggest that an object was perched atop it (e.g., the infant Erichthonius) – others that it is a marker from a race-course.



The art work is made by keramin, a plaster - polymer compound . It is ready to hang, with a metal strip.We don't use alabaster ( or marble dust or magnesitis or sand ) which are VERY cheap materials with porous and poor quality.



All of our sculptures are high museum copies and not free designs that's why we mention from where copies come from.
