Marble Statue of Athena from Perge - Identical Museum Reproduction
Museum: Antalya Museum, Turkey
Date: ca. 2nd century AD
Period: Roman Imperial
In Greek mythology, Athena (also called Athene, Latin: Minerva) is the shrewd companion of heroes and the
goddess of heroic endeavour. She is the virgin patron of Athens, which built the Parthenon to worship her.
In a temple at Phrixa in Elis, which was reportedly built by Clymenus, she was known as Cydonia.
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.
