When King Leonidas and the three hundred Spartan Hoplites under
his command held off the Persian army at the Thermopylae pass, the
courage and sacrifice of these Greek warriors entered into the realm of
legend for evermore.
This black porcelain sculpture depicts one of those brave soldiers
equipped with his spectacular helmet with plumes, a mask—which can
be placed or removed to reveal the warrior’s face thanks to a magnet
system—shield, lance and armor. The wealth of detail, added to the
decoration, the precisely modelled anatomy and the meticulous
ornamentation demonstrate an extraordinary degree of virtuosity.
