The mythical figure of Orpheus was borrowed by the Greeks from their Thracian neighbours; the Thracian "Orphic Mysteries", rituals of unknown content, were named after him. According to the best-known tradition, Orpheus was the son of Oeagrus, king of Thrace, and the muse Calliope. Sometimes, Calliope and Apollo were his parents. Orpheus learned music from Linus or from Apollo. He was killed by the Maenads and buried in Macedonia, below Mount Olympus. Item No. 409 Weight 6 Lb. Dimensions Wide: 15" High: 12" Deep: 1" Made of cast stone with antique finish, comes with a hole or a hook in the back for easy wall hanging. Made of cast stone. Cast stone is a type of gypsum cement whose properties are much different from plaster of paris which is what most sculpture shops use. Unlike plaster, which is soft, light and weak, cast stone is hard, heavy and strong. Cast stone feels like, and is heavy like a real stone would be, which can be experienced as soon you try to lift it. Finish: White THIS ITEM IS BRAND NEW!
