Handmade Clay trojan horse 50 x 70 cm

The Trojan Horse is a story from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the independent city of Troy and win the war. In the canonical version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside including Odysseus.

The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy.

That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night.

The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, ending the war. Metaphorically, a "Trojan Horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place.

A malicious computer program that tricks users into willingly running it is also called a "Trojan horse" or simply a "Trojan".

MODERN CERAMIC ART INFLUENCED FROM THE ANCIENT GREEK CIVILIZATION

The Not Excavated Yet collection consists of ceramic artefacts which are made with a unique method that makes them look really and genuinely old.

This persuasive presentation set by itself a decorative suggestion of extensive use.

Under the correct lighting and proper display these artefacts are transformed and look imposing, pleasing, even amusing and, above all, unique pieces of art. You can find Ancient Greek, Cypriot, Etruscan, Phoenician, Sumerian, Egyptian and Celtic forms and motifs combined for the creation of one single piece.

Usually, the artist is using all different kind of clay in each one artefact (white, yellow and red clay).

The temperature of the oven fire is 900-1100o C and he is using cold colours. Some times he also employs copper plating, when he needs to underline additional decorative elements.

It’s all about a completely hand made work; therefore the production is limited.

Each item is absolutely unique. They may be “look like” the ones you see in this site or in a brochure, but they are not, by any means, exactly the same.
