CORPORATE GIFTS

Marble* replica of one of the oldest Greek city-state coin (the silver Aeginite stater known as the "turtle") from the island of Aegina depicting a land turtle. The turtle was the emblem of the Aeginetans, a symbol of Artemis Athena Aphaia or Britomartis, patroness of Aegina.*The marbles show natural coloration due to the inclusions of copper and their reliefs have been made only by human energy. They have been carved using traditional hand tools and polished with emery (an ancient Cycladic technique), without the intervention of electrical machines.

MARBLE REPLICA OF ANCIENT GREEK COIN OF AEGINA WITH TURTLE

Marble carving in the Aegean had achieved high levels of sophistication already from&nbsp;the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC.Marble vessels were highly estimated by Cycladic people as symbols of wealth and social status. Refined and delicate, strictly obeying to the laws of geometry, the Cycladic “phialai”,&nbsp;bowls made of white marble, underline the simplicity of Cycladic Culture and the vigor of its artistic expression.
