Description

head of his decapitated Medusa (all with great detail). According to Greek mythology, Perseus presented the head to Athena, goddess of wisdom and war. A brass support has been screwed on to Perseus' arm to hold a swing clock. The blade of his sword is missing, however the hilt is there and it should be no trouble to add a blade. The statue is mounted on a stepped dark green marble base (some minor chips) with ormolu feet and the combination is quite heavy. Rear feet on base have been soldered. Use as a swing statue or restore as an impressive (albeit gruesome) bronze. Height 30 inches There is no reserve on this but feel it must be worth at least
