Our Eos in Her Chariot Bas-relief (Herculaneum) is a reproduction masterpiece of the neo-Attic original dating from the first century BC that is a replica of a fourth century prototype. The relief represents Eos (or Aurora in Roman mythology) driving a quadriga with her lover (Tithonus or Cephalus) at the horses’ heads. Fragments of a twin relief can be seen in the House of Telephus in Italy, Herculaneum. Eos, the dawn goddess was the sister of Helios (the Sun) and led him each day into the Heavens. The relief now belongs to the collection of the Duc de Loule in the Lisbon Museum.
INDOOR & OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Our life-size statues are balanced on the base in order to stand alone safely outdoors & indoors. If extra safety is required, the base can be fixed with a variety of methods resin glue, cementitious glue, or mechanical means such as iron bars or hooks. For indoor, we recommend pure white color as it is the most bright. For outdoor we recommend aging patina only if the architecture of the building matches with beige tones. Pure white color is fitting in the majority of the cases.
In order to keep an outdoor statue with the best look possible, wax or polyurethane spray can be applied once a year. During cold winters, the accumulation of ice in the crevices needs to be avoided. Crevises should be salted to deter the ice from expanding or simply be covered.
ABOUT THE MATERIAL
Our large size sculptures are produced by a unique and proprietary dry casting process. Over 90% of the finished sculpture is natural marble which gives it a look and feel of natural marble. The sculpture is not completely solid in order to reduce cost and weight, with a strong solid thickness suitable for indoor and outdoor. They are finished and patinated by hand.
