The Mourning Pensive Goddess Athena Relief Copy From Acropolis Museum , Replica Greek

The Mourning pensive Goddess Athena relief copy from Acropolis Museum , Replica relief from Greek Museum The so-called Mourning Athena is an Athenian marble relief dated circa 460 BC. The goddess, marked by her helmet of the Corinthian type, wears a peplos, clasped at the shoulders & cinched at the waist. She rests her right hand on her hip & crosses her left leg over her right. Her left hand grasps a spear on which she leans, & her head is inclined. The meaning of her bowed head has been a matter of debate since the relief's excavation from the Acropolis of Athens in 1888. As the conventional name suggests, many have taken the posture to indicate sadness or pensiveness, & thus to interpret the rectangular object on the viewer's right as a stele, . The exact nature of the rectangular object, too, is unclear - some suggest that an object was perched atop it (e.g., the infant Erichthonius) - others that it is a marker from a race-course. The art work is made by keramin, a plaster - polymer compound .
