A delightful miniature of Aeolus, to whom Zeus had entrusted the control of the volatile, every-changing winds. Aeolus' HQ was the Sicilian island Aeolia, which Odysseus and his crew visited in the Odyssey. Now known as Eolia. Here he is in 'full blow'!
Lightweight, suitable for hanging, for perching on a little stand, or just to look pretty on a table surface.
miniature terracotta Aeolus god of the winds
Width: 6.5cm
Height: 6cm
Depth to wall if hung: 2.5cmMade in Italy for It's All Greek by 'Ithaca: arte in terracotta', way back in 2010. (The name is, naturally, what attracted me to this little company in the first place!)
This is the limited residual stock, which I am putting up online now (June 2026) - reluctantly, because they are so lovely and very cute! When they're gone, they're gone.
On the back, you will find embedded: 'Ithaca', and if there is room, 'arte in terracotta' and 'fatto a mano a Venezia'.
The pieces are fired to 1000 degrees, are lightweight, and can be placed outside.
