Description

Boxing Children Fresco
11" x 6" Reproduction
Vintage Hand Painted Souvenir Tile From The Athens National Museum, Greece.
This faithfully executed reproduction is hand made and hand painted over a terra cotta or bonded marble material, giving the piece an authentic antique bronze age look. (The fractures are not painted on. They are a naturally occurring and intentional detail the happens during the firing process of production.) The piece is in excellent vintage condition. This is a VERY HARD TO FIND piece. Please check out all of the pictures for full details.
Boxing children fresco. The painting depicts two naked boys wearing belts and boxing gloves. Room B1, Building B. Akrotiri, Thera, 16th cent. BC.
Akrotiri on the island of Santorini (Thera) is one of the most important prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. The first habitation at the site dates from the Late Neolithic times. The large extent of the settlement (ca. 20 hectares), the elaborate drainage system, the sophisticated multi-storeyed buildings with the magnificent wall-paintings, furniture and vessels, show its great development and prosperity. The various imported objects found in the buildings indicate the wide network of its external relations.
An exact museum reproduction, currently exhibited in the National Archaeological Museum (Athens).
