GR_130

 

£12.00

ex. VAT

 

Reproduction resin plaque - quite detailed - cast from a damaged antique plaster plaque. Approx. 24cm long x 6cm tall.

The details of the replica plaque represent the procession of bulls involved in the Hecatomb - the sacrifice of 100 bulls during the course of the festival.
Such bovine carnage was necessary to feed the masses during the biggest festival in the city of Athens, celebrated every 4 years during the months of July and August in ancient times.
