Borghese Dancers Postcard
Regular price £1.70/
This relief is a copy in bronze of a Roman marble relief, known as the Borghese Dancers, now in the Louvre but long one of the highlights of the Borghese collection in Rome. It depicts five young women engaged in a dance, set against an arcade formed by a sequence of pillars. They may represent Horae, nymphs who in ancient mythology symbolised the seasons and later, the Hours, attendants for Aurora, goddess of the Dawn and for Luna, goddess of the Moon.
