George Sellers created this Athena sculpture by hand carving it from clay;  a plaster casting was then sent to Italy for production in ceramic.   The original, thought to be from the 4th century BC, is on display at the Louvre in Paris, France.     Ours is made from terracotta based ceramic, formulated in a method the Italians refer to as "calco", the act of packing a perfectly produced mold with terracotta clay. Once allowed to dry it is pulled away from the mold and transferred to a kiln where its fired at 950 degrees, then fired for a 2nd time after being glazed in our signature antique white glaze.  Warrior extraordinaire!
