In
ancient Greece this 3.3cm tall model would have been sold to visitors to the Sanctuary
of Artemis Orthia on the banks of the river Eurotas at Sparta. Thousands of
small figures have been found at the sanctuary which include animals such as
stags, dogs, horses as well as models of the goddess herself. They were left
behind as offerings to the goddess. The mini bronze is made of a base white metal and
bronze plated.
The
mini bronze is supplied in a clear acetate box with an insert showing an
image of Pegasus and historical information.
