The illustration shows a very young Zeus, offering a fistful of lightning bolts to the outstretched arm of a woman reclining. It is quite possible that the semi-nude figure is Gaea, a personification of Earth, who raised her grandson, Zeus, in the years before the Titanomachy (war between the Titans and the Olympians). Behind the two figures is a drapery swag that is set within a foliate border depicted on the ogee molding of the oval frame. The entire plaque has a cream finish, but areas with paint losses present a natural wood color. Our outcurved bas relief panel would make a wonderful addition to any wall. See less
