Faithful, large and very beautiful reproduction of Selene's horse's head, currently on display at the British Museum.

This statue represents the real size of a horse from the ancient Roman era (140cm / 150cm at the withers) which was smaller than our current horses.

The size of the statue itself is exactly 77cm tall by 78cm long. With its black brushed metal display: 80cm high.

This fragment is part of the reconstruction of the East pediment of the Acropolis Museum: it represented the birth of Athena emerging fully armed from the head of Zeus, the other gods witnessing the scene; in the left corner, the chariot of the Sun (Helios) emerges from the ocean marking the appearance of day, in the right corner, the chariot of the Moon (Selene) pulled by horses plunges into the ocean.

Like many of the sculptures in the Parthenon, this horse's head is kept in the British Museum.

THE LEGEND :

During the Arab domination in Sicily, in the city of Palermo there was an Arab suburb called "La Kalsa".

In this small suburb lived a beautiful young woman who spent her time tending to the flowers on her balcony.

One day a young Moor was walking under the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the young lady and he fell in love with her.

He did not wait a minute to declare his love and the beautiful young girl, impressed by the audacity of the lover, quickly experienced the same love.

Unfortunately, the young Moor was already married and had several children ... as soon as the young woman found out that he could leave to find his family, one day she waited for night and killed him while he slept soundly. She cut off his head and used it as a vase for her plants so she could have him forever by her side.

As the beauty of this vase was remarkable, the whole neighborhood wanted to own a similar one.

From this moment, the creation of vases in the shape of the heads of Moors began...
