The original Hellenistic bronze group, dating to the mid-late 2nd century BC, were recovered from a shipwreck in the sea at Cape Artemision off the island of Euboea - modern Evia.

The horse was recovered in 1928 and the boy jockey in 1937. This famous piece is in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. It is among the very few surviving large-scale bronze sculptures from antiquity.

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.
