Held up by cult officials, the sacred robe of Athena takes center stage. This exquisite carving from the Elgin collection at the British Museum captures not only the beauty of art but also the devotion and reverence towards deities. Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, stands alongside Hephaistos, god of fire and craftsmanship. Their presence adds an air of divinity to this scene as they oversee the proceedings with grace and power. The intricate details carved into stone bring these mythological figures to life.
