The marble original, from the Parthenon, is currently in the British Museum and is one of the best-loved pieces of classical Greek sculpture.
The horse's head dominates the northern apex of the Parthenon's east pediment, which depicts at its centre the birth of the goddess Athena. Many gods and goddesses witnessed this momentous event, including the goddess of the moon, Selene. The figures in these pediments were sculpted fully in the round, although the backs of them would never be seen once in situ, and hoisted into position between 447-432 BC.
This superb copy in cast Carrara marble was commissioned by and is exclusive to It's All Greek. She is a perfect, scaled-down version of a cast taken from the full size original.
