Zeus shared the universe with Poseidon and Hades after Zeus overthrew Cronus, their father. Poseidon gained and ruled the sea as god of the sea and earthquakes with a sharp trident as his weapon. Although he had the reputation for having a violent temper, he created many animals including the first horse to impress Demeter. Poseidon was the second powerful god after Zeus, and he was widely worshiped by seamen. This statue is beautifully designed, sculpted and handcrafted to the finest detail in cold cast metal (Bronze/pewter) finish.
In Greek & Roman mythology, Hippocampus was a half horse, and half sea monster. These creatures were not vicious, but loyal and strongly associated with Poseidon. This extremely detailed and well-made statue is made with cold cast bronze. The special production process of this piece, originated from Great Britain, uses actual bronze powder mixed in the cold cast resin in order to ensures a richer, more life-like presentation.
