Greek Mythology Bronze - Discobolus Statue - signed by Myron

This sculpture was once made after the great artist and sculptor Myron and is called "Discobolus". The sculpture is a stunning image of a Greek athlete, throwing a discus. "Discobolus" was originally completed between 460-450 BC. It is an image of a young and athletic male, affixed on a sold marble-base. The sculpture is signed by Myron and was casted as detailed and as filigree as possible in comparison to the original. The mythology bronze sculpture shows a nude male doing sports, because the discus thrower was always naked in ancient times. While the original of the sculpture wasn't made of bronze, our fantastic re-cast is made of finest bronze.

As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.
