An inspiring representation of the 7th Century B.C. Greek era, our pedestal is inspired by the Titan, Atlas.If ever there was a god of heavy burdens, it would be poor Atlas. He's the one with the whole world on his shoulders. Quite Literally.
During the war of the TITANS, ATLAS fought againts Zeus and the Olympus. And as punishment for this war crime, ZEUS sentenced him to hold up the heavens and bear their weight on his shoulders forever.This awful burden was made slightly easier for ATLAS to bear when PERSEUS came along and turned him to stone with the head of MEDUSA. He's now known as Mount Atlas. This Atlas pedestal will be a conversational piece that friends will relish!

The Greek line
The Greeks had plenty of beautiful marble and used it freely for
temples as well as for their sculpture. They were not satisfied with
its cold whiteness, however, and painted both their statues and
their buildings.The Parthenon sculptures are the greatest works
of Greek art that have come down to modern times.

Arkahdia Arts Studio,
a European immigrant now living in New York started a studio dedicated to casting these pieces of Art. By focusing the business on two goals;(1) to save pieces which have been produced in another medium in bygone times, and (2) to bring new artist's work to the public, the product lines have prospered, delighted and excited.
