The Olive wreath also known as kotinos (Greek: κότινος), was the prize for the winner at the ancient Olympic Games. It was a branch of the wild olve tree Kallistefanos Elea (also referred to as Elaia Kallistephanos) that grew at Olympia, intertwined to form a circle or a horse-shoe. The branches of the sacred wild-olive tree near the temple of Zeus were cut by a pais amphithales (Ancient Greek: παῖς ἀμφιθαλής, a boy whose parents were both alive) with a pair of golden scissors. Then he took them to the temple of Hera and placed them on a gold-ivory table. From there, the Hellanodikai (the judges of the Olympic Games) would take them, make the wreaths and crown the winners of the Games. Read more…

  1. Lynne (Australia)

    I was thrilled to receive the sculpture I ordered in record time, and in one piece, despite the lengthy journey to Australia. The work is splendid, with fine detail and excellent craftsmanship. I’m very impressed with the ease of the transaction, and the portrait bust looks even better in reality.
