Vintage stone figural plaque in the classical style

Of unknown date (but thought to be mid-century in origin) this item is made from composite stone. It is a figural plaque in the classical style being the representation of a Greek philosopher/scholar

The head and tail of this plaque are decorated with the Greek key design

There are some letters from the Greek alphabet inscribed in a vertical fashion on the left hand side which I have attempted to show

The philosopher/scholar is dressed in the traditional antique Greek chiton and holds a scroll in one hand

I assume that historically this item was placed in a niche in a wall. It shows evidence of having being outside for some time as there is evidence of weathering

There is a hanging hoop to the rear should there be a desire to hang this item on a wall, but I cannot guarantee that the hoop is strong enough to suspend this item as it weighs 3.5Kg 

The easel shown in the photographs is not included in the sale

A lovely decorative piece for inside or outside the home   

Weight: (unpackaged): 3.5Kg
