Product description

This altar piece was imported from Greece and created by Greek artists in honor of the Old Gods.

This is a solid bronze replica of an Ancient Greek tripod with owl handles. It can be used on your altar as a ritual censer or offering bowl.

Tripods frequently are mentioned by Homer as prizes in athletic games and as complimentary gifts, in later times, highly decorated and bearing inscriptions, they served the same purpose. They also were used as dedicatory offerings to the deities, and in the dramatic contests at the Dionysia the victorious choregus (a wealthy citizen who bore the expense of equipping and training the chorus) received a crown and a tripod. He would either dedicate the tripod to some deity or set it upon the top of a marble structure erected in the form of a small circular temple in a street in Athens, called the street of tripods, from the large number of memorials of this kind. This tripod, as with all our other bronze items, are cast in Greece, using the traditional 'lost wax' method, therefore each piece is unique. It was made in Greece, stands 40 centimeters high and weighs approximately 3 kg.
