Helios

Fabulous handmade sculpture in ceramic, painted with glazes and fired twice at a temperature of about 1000° C. This allows the bas-relief to be placed outdoors, its time-lasting quality is assured despite sun, rain, wind, cold, ice.

Ithaca's Helios, god of the Sun, is a freely interpreted reproduction of a bas-relief metope with the god's chariot, once installed in Athena’s temple at Ilium, dated back to the first or second-century b. C. This neo-attic relief is preserved at the Pergamonmuseum in Berlin.
