Bronze penteconter, an ancient Greek galley in use since the archaic period, on a marble base. I named it Argo.

Height on base: 45cm Length: 46cm
This boat is inspired by the penteconter, a forerunner of the Athenian bireme and trireme, an ancient Greek galley used since the archaic period.

The penteconter was a long range ship, used for sea trade, piracy, warfare and exploration, capable of transporting freight or troops.

The evil eye on the side of the hull, a common motif, designed to warn and frighten the enemy!
