Sculpture, Frammento Di Diana - 20 cm - Cast Stone

Magnificent sculpture representing the bust of Diana in all her uniqueness, in marble powder (stone cast). Diana is an Italic goddess, mistress of the forests, protector of wild animals and women, to whom she ensured painless parts, and dispenser of sovereignty. Often this Roman goddess is associated with Artemis from Greek mythology, but according to some scholars the fusion of the two figures occurred only later. According to legend, Diana, a young virgin skilled in hunting, as irascible as vindictive, loved solitude and was enemy of feasts; she used to roam in isolated places. In the name of Love she had taken a vow of chastity, and for this reason she was protective only towards those who — like Hippolytus and the nymphs who promised to remain virgins — entrusted themselves to her. The lot is suitable for enriching luxurious interiors, dependance, rustic houses, or homes in the mountains. We ensure proper shipping of the item with package tracking. No reserve price!
