An authentic vintage Greek modernist bronze figurine of the mythological god Poseidon (Neptune) holding his iconic trident, designed by the recognized Greek workshop of Ch. Sklavenitis. Hand-cast in Greece, this sculpture showcases an elegant, highly stylized Brutalist and Geometric silhouette that beautifully bridges Mid-Century Modernism with ancient Archaic Greek and Cycladic art traditions.
The figure stands on an integrated oval base, rendered in a distinctive flattened profile with intricate relief details decorating the tunic, hair, and beard. It features a stunning, naturally aged green verdigris and dark brown bronze patina throughout the metalwork.
DIMENSIONS:
* Height: 9.5 inches (to the top of the trident)
* Base Width: 2 inches
* Weight: Approx. 1 lb
CONDITION REPORT:
Excellent vintage structural and cosmetic condition with a solid, heavy cast feel. The bronze surfaces retain a beautiful authentic verdigris patina and aged oxidation. No bends, breaks, or repairs to the trident or base.
