Description
If you want to see more Grecian carvings, here's my website.
The original ancient carving is commonly known as 'Mourning Athena', but I prefer to think the goddess is simply resting from battle, contemplating the battle before her. It is dated to 460 BC and was found within the Acropolis of Athens.
It is an evocatively calm pose for a goddess who was so closely tied with action. Athena was both the protector of her patron city as well as the goddess of all heroic deeds, and as such is often shown girded for war.
If you want to know how I carve this and others pieces, please view my Youtube tutorials.
