This fabulous Trio of Intaglio Greek Mythology Muses on Velvet Wall Hanging capture three of the nine muses: Clio, Polymnia and Terpsicore (see details below). Each of the round detailed intaglios is a three dimensional rendition of the muse, mounted on gold leaf wood blocks and hung together via a green velvet sash backed in leather. This sculptural piece of art would look amazing on a gallery wall or hung alone on a narrow wall for maximum impact. They can also be separated and reimagined (e.g. framed) as needed.
Dimensions: 34”L x 4”W x .5”H
ABOUT THE MUSES:
CLIO: Muse of History
(Attribute: Scroll or Chest of Books)
Clio's name comes from the Greek verb kleô, which means "to make famous."
POLYMNIA: Muse of Sacred Song
(Attribute: Depicted veiled and pensive)
Polyhymnia wears a long cloak and veil and often rests her arm on a pillar. Some legends describe her as the mother of Triptolemus by Cheimarrhus, who was the son of Ares. Triptolemus was a priest of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, and is sometimes described as the inventor of farming.
TERPSICORE: Muse of Dance
(Attribute: Lyre)
Terpsichore's name means "delight in dancing." Despite her name, however, she is usually shown sitting down and playing the stringed instrument called the lyre, a symbol also associated with Apollo. less
