About the Item

A huge, weathered York stone carving of a neoclassical or Roman figure on horseback after the antique 6th century BC Greek Parthenon Frieze. Spanning approximately 1.9 x 1.2 m (6ft x 4ft), this piece is of monumental scale, making an impressive sculptural piece on an interior wall or focal point of a garden scheme. Handsomely weathered from exposure to the elements over many years, this large depiction of a chiselled Roman figure on horseback is deliberately formed in five pieces with rough and uneven edges that instil it a sense of age and history. The Parthenon Frieze Believed to date from 447 – 432 BC, the Parthenon Frieze is a continuous marble band that once decorated the Parthenon temple, Greece. Dedicated to the goddess Athena, the temple was abundant with decorative sculpture considered some high points of classical Greek art. The frieze, which encircled the upper part of the main temple within the outer colonnade, detailed the procession toward Acropolis during the Great Panathenaea, the festival in honour of Athena. Of the 160m of the original frieze, 128m survives, the majority of which can be found in the British Museum and the Acropolis Museum, Athens. Thickness varies 6cm to 10cm (2.36in-3.93in)
