ARCHITECTURAL REPRODUCTIONS, ”GODDESS ATHENA AND HEPHAESTUS” - A large, high-quality plaster cast of panel 18, ”Goddess Athena and Hephaestus” from the Parthenon stone frieze. Produced by Architectural Reproductions in Portland, made of glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GRG). Measures 40'' H x 48'' W x 4'' D. Dated on the back, circa 1999. The Parthenon frieze is a band of sculpted marble that ran around the top of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It depicts the Panathenaic Procession, a religious festival that celebrated the birthday of Athena. Architectural Reproductions employs an interdisciplinary approach to design, engineer, and produce interior and exterior molded architectural shapes. We work on a broad range of projects - from historic masonry restorations requiring stone or terra cotta replacements to stylized new construction needing molded columns, cornices, or ceilings - with a range of materials and techniques selected to provide a balance of appearance, durability, and cost. A short list of our materials includes many current industry standards, such as Glass fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GRG), Glass fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), Polymer-modified Glass fiber Reinforced Gypsum (PGRG), Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) and Precast Concrete and Cast Stone. We have completed projects throughout the United States and numerous countries around the world, working with architects, contractors, preservationists, owners, and developers to bring ideas into fruition.
