Our Parthenon Trough Planter is a rectangular trough planter adorned with scenes from the famous Parthenon Temple on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The scene dipected is a portion of the equestrian parade relief from the Parthenon frieze (West side) and it is a pretty faithful interpretation of the famous work supervised by the famous sculptor Phidias. The frieze was constructed between 443 and 437 BC and is considered one of the great works of western civilization. The Parthenon Trough Planter is 31" in length and 15" in width in height which makes this fascinating planter ideal for planting with florals, succulents, herbs or small greens.
This distinctive planter is meticulously hand cast and hand finished in our USA foundry in extremely durable fiberstone. Fiberstone is a mixture of sand and stones cast into the surface to give the appearance of aged stone. Reinforced with a fiberglass backing, it remains lighter and less fragile than concrete. Guaranteed outdoor durability. Shown in Stone finish, but, it is available in all the colors shown in the chart below. Make your choice by selecting your finish in the finish/colors options list by the "Add to Cart" button. Finishes are hand applied and may vary, making each piece unique. 31" L x 15" D x 15" H Weight: 50 lbs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
