A lovely miniature, the underside of which is decorated with wave-like spirals.
It is based on the Cycladic 'frying pan' shape, from a collection in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, dating to ca 2800-2300 BCE. The originals were found at the cemetery in Chalandriani, Syros.
This is a bronze version of the terracotta original.

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.
