The shape of this shield is inspired by a Theban coin and is decorated with the figure of a satyr, hybrid worshipper of Dionysos, god of wine and theatre, within a band of vine leaves.
He holds a kantharos, his signature two-handled drinking vessel.

The bronze pieces are cast in Greece using the traditional lost wax method. As nothing is mass-produced, there will inevitably be slight variations in texture, patina, and colour. No two pieces are ever the same. If mounted on a marble base, it will be a black or very dark grey base. There may be a variation of some millimetres in the dimensions of the base from time to time.
It's All Greek is proud to have been working with the Semitekolo family foundry since 1999. It has been a privilege to handle these gorgeous pieces and to sell them to customers all over the world.
