Pair of Bronze Mounts Featuring Zeus and Poseiden, French

About the Item

Beautifully sculpted, cast, chased and finished, this pair of bronze mounts feature, in bold relief, two highlights from Greek and Roman mythology: Zeus, holding the fire that Prometheus had spirited to mankind, with the eagle who tortured Prometheus in the background; and Poseiden (or Neptune), riding a scallop shell, flanked by a merboy and two dolphins. Both panels have beautiful patinas, and are in excellent condition.
