Miniature of Discus-Bearer Carved in Solid Walnut

This miniature wood carving reimagines Polyclitus' classical Discophoros (Discus-Bearer), a bronze masterpiece exemplifying the Greek ideal of athletic perfection. Hand-carved from dense European beech, it captures the athlete’s contemplative pose mid-throw, with meticulous attention to musculature and balance—hallmarks of Polyclitus’ canon. Measuring 8cm tall and weighing 25g, this chemically-free sculpture honors fragmented Roman copies (armless variant) while retaining raw wood grain. Ideal for collectors of Hellenic art or minimalist decor.
