contemporary bronzes bronze tripods

Bronze bowls and amphorae, oil lamps in bronze and hand-ochred keramin, bronze tripods. The tripod was a symbol of status and wealth in ancient Greece and was often given either as a guest gift from host to guest, or awarded as a prize in games. It is also associated with Apollo, god of prophecy and oracles, whose priestess, the Pythia in Delphi, would sit in a tripod, chew laurel leaves and deliver her prophetic words.
