Elegant greek souvenirs handmade greek bronze sacrificial tripod with various engraved designs. A sacrificial tripod is a three-legged piece of religious furniture used for offerings or other ritual procedures.
One of the most famous tripods belonged to the Pythia in the Sanctury of Apollo at Delphi. This divinely-inspired priestess used to sit on top of a tripod to deliver the oracles of Apollo, and a laurel-branch was placed on top of the tripod whenever she was away. Because of this, by the Classical Period, the tripod had come to be strongly associated with, and even sacred to, the god Apollo.
The bronze sculpture is a distinctive greek art gift.
