Description: Vtg Greek Terracotta Plate Achilles Tending the Wounds of Patroulos My family purchased this vintage Greek terracotta plate and Trojan horse figurine in the early 1960s, while on a cruise of the Greek islands and archeological sites. Depicting the scene of Achilles tending to the wounds of Patroclos, the plate is a stunning representation of Greek mythology, as is the Trojan Horse figurine. In Greek mythology, Achilles and Patroclos are two warriors who fought for King Agamemnon against the Trojans. The story of the Trojan Horse, which, filled with enemy soldiers, was unwisely accepted as a gift by the Trojans, is now unversally famous and often used as a metaphor for mistaken judgment. Handmade and handpainted in Greece, the plate and the figurine are great souvenirs for those who have visited Greece or have an interest in Greek culture and history. With intricate detailing and vibrant colors, both items are perfect for display or for use on special occasions. Their unique style and history make them one-of-a-kind items that are sure to impress. Since purchase in Greece in the 1960s, both pieces have been carefully maintained in a smoke-free, pet-free household. Dimensions:Plate is 7 in in diameter,Trojan Horse figurine is 3.5 in tall and 2,25 in wide (from front to back)
