Greek Goddesses Plaque

 

£30.00

ex. VAT

 

This is a classical-style replica plaque depicting the Horae (or Hours) from Greek mythology. The Horae were goddesses associated with the natural order, time, and the seasons, as well as aspects of agriculture and harmony. They are often shown in flowing garments, symbolizing the transitions of the seasons or natural abundance.

The Greek inscription at the bottom reads: "Της Ὥρας... της σεασσων," likely referring to their role in timekeeping and fertility. The detailed relief likely celebrates themes of harvest, prosperity, and the harmony of nature.

This plaque may be inspired by neoclassical or archaeological art motifs from ancient Greece. Would you like help finding more historical context or sources for where it might be sold or exhibited

Size: 30cm x 18cm.
