The story:

The sculpture 'Atalante' is derived from the Greek mythological story about a king's daughter who wanted to become better at fighting than a man because her father would have preferred a son instead of a daughter.

It soon became apparent that Atalante was an agile huntress, and very fast. She wanted to compete with the men: she had to, and would, be faster! The men were amazed. Atalante later proved himself by killing centaurs with two swift arrows.

Condition: excellent.
As shown in the photos, the bow can be disassembled so that it can be safely packed.
