On the other side, there are offerings and representations of graces. This intricate carving provides insight into ancient Greek mythology, paganism, and rituals. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously carved into the marble, showcasing the skill and talent possessed by ancient Greek artists.
