Athena or Minerva Enthroned, Bronze in High Relief in its Marble Frame, Early 19th Century, after the Hildesheim Treasure discovered in 1868 and exhibited in Pergamon.
A rare bronze representation of the goddess Athena (Minerva) enthroned in majesty within its original Siena yellow marble frame on a peach blossom marble base.
The bronze medallion in high relief depicts the goddess seated, wearing a helmet and holding her shield.
This bronze is directly inspired by representations of the goddess in antiquity.
The details are very finely executed, and the bronze retains beautiful traces of gilding.
The medallion is mounted on its original Siena yellow marble frame, which is itself set on a peach blossom marble base.
A handsome bronze hanging ring completes the piece, ensuring secure hanging, as the entire work is quite heavy. A beautiful piece from the late 19th century.
