This is just one of many Roman copies of the group sculpture of Meleager. There are such wide discrepancies in the style of the various Roman copies that the original from which they are all derived has been attributed to various sculptors. Also, no ancient writer mentions a statue of Meleager at all so it is impossible to be sure who made the Greek original.
The hero Meleager is shown with a boar’s head and a hunting dog. One of the myths featuring Meleager is that Artemis sent a boar to ravage the land of Kalydon for failing to make enough sacrifices to her. Meleager saved Kalydon by organising a hunt to kill the boar; but enjoyment of his victory is short-lived. His mother soon causes his death in revenge for killing her brothers
I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.
The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.
Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
