Hermes Alabaster Discobolus Statue, Made in Greece. A cream colored statue.Measures 12" in height by almost 8" total length from head to hand. Some marks (shown in photo). Very good condition.
This striking 12-inch tall statue is a handcrafted reproduction of the "Discobolus of Myron," one of the most iconic sculptures from the Classical period of ancient Greece. Made in Greece from cast alabaster, the figure captures a youthful athlete in a moment of intense athletic energy, just before the release of a discus throw. The cream-colored finish gives the piece an authentic, aged appearance that highlights the anatomical details and rhythmic movement originally mastered by the sculptor Myron in approximately 450 BC.
Measuring 12 inches in height with a total length of nearly 8 inches from head to hand, this piece makes a bold statement on a desk, bookshelf, or as part of a collection of classical art. It is a high-quality "Hermes" brand souvenir, often prized by those who admire the harmony and balance of ancient Greek aesthetics. Please note that as a vintage item, there are some minor marks on the surface as shown in the photos, which add to its character as a museum-style replica.
