Poseidon Greek God Statue Figurine
Product Description
H: 11 1/4" Cold Cast Marble-like Resin
In Greek mythology, Poseidon was the god of the sea and earthquakes. In his benign aspect, Poseidon was seen as creating new islands and offering calm seas. When offended or ignored, he supposedly struck the ground with his trident and caused chaotic springs, earthquakes, drownings and shipwrecks. Sailors prayed to Poseidon for a safe voyage.
The quality of the casting of this figurine is excellent, with good detail, and the cold cast resin has a natural sheen and weight and will blend well with authentic and more expensive antique pieces.
