god identical Museum Reproduction
Museum: Archaeological Museum, Istanbul, Turkey
Date: ca. 2nd century AD
Period: Roman Imperial
In Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo (in Greek,
Ἀπόλλων—Apóllōn or Ἀπέλλων—Apellōn), is one of
the most important and many-sided of the
Olympian deities. The ideal of the kouros (a
beardless youth), Apollo has been variously
recognized as a god of light and the sun; truth and



prophecy; archery; medicine and healing; music, poetry, and the arts; and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus
and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan
mythology as Apulu. Apollo was worshipped in both ancient Greek and Roman religion, as well as in the
modern Hellenic neopaganism.
This sculpture is identical reproduction of the original ancient masterpiece, now housed by the prominent
museum. The statue is composed from mold made from the original, thus guaranteeing the highest
accuracy of identical reproduction. The reproduction pictured here is made of cast marble, and is
extremely heavy and strong, having a real ancient feel. An ancient patina finishing gives it an additional
historical value (you can choose not to have patina applied and keep it all white if you like). The statue can
be displayed both inside and out, it is weatherproofed.
