HADES AND PERSEPHONE

The original dating approximately at 350BC is in the British Museum.Hades driving a quadriga chariot returns Persephone to the upper world in the company of Hermes and Hecate. The gods are identified by their attributes. Hades bears a bird-tipped staff, Hecate a four-headed Eleusinian torch and aureole, and Hermes a herald's wand, winged boots and petasos cap.Red-figure vase painting is one of the most important styles of figural Greek vase painting. It developed in Athens around 530 BC and remained in use until the late 3rd century BC. It replaced the previously dominant style of Black-figure vase painting within a few decades. Its modern name is based on the figural depictions in red colour on a black background, in contrast to the preceding black-figure style with black figures on a red background.It was Hand made in Greece, height isapproximately15 inches.Our clay items are Hand painted and not fastly made, nor are they cheaply made of substitute materials such as resin. We stick to the materials and methods used by ancient Greeks and use only top quality ceramics and paints.Do not expect "perfection" as if these clay vases was not mass produced from a machine like many are, but by hand.
