Companion of Odysseus

1.500,00 

An evocative homage to the grandeur of classical antiquity, this sculptural bust portrays the expressive and tormented face of one of Odysseus’s companions — a central figure in the dramatic marble group “Odysseus Blinding Polyphemus”, preserved in the archaeological site of Sperlonga and dating back to the 1st century BC. His gaze, suspended between fear and courage, captures the tension of that mythical moment with striking emotional depth.

Faithfully recreated in aged-effect plaster, the bust reveals intricate details and surface textures reminiscent of time-worn marble. Every nuance — from the tousled hair to the furrowed brow — is a tribute to the sculptural mastery of the Hellenistic tradition.

The base, in stark yet refined contrast, is made from powder-coated steel and fully clad in exquisite leather with hand-applied contrasting stitching. This tailored detail adds a contemporary layer to the piece, enhancing its presence in modern interiors while preserving its classical soul.

A decorative object of rare character, perfect for those who appreciate the intersection of mythology, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.

Handmade in Italy.

To preserve the beauty of the leather finish, avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Clean leather surfaces only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water. Gently dry after cleaning. Any natural variations in tone or markings are distinctive features of the material, which will develop a unique patina over time.
