Reproduction of the East Pediment of the Parthenon (438 to 432 BC). Athens. The original sculptures are located in the British Museum, London.

This piece is a recreation of the sculptural ensemble of the pediment that was located above the main entrance of the Parthenon, facing east, created by the school of the Athenian sculptor Phidias. It represents the birth of Athena, who according to myth emerged from the head of Zeus, already adult and armed.

The sculptures of the Parthenon, the temple of Athena Parthenos on the Acropolis of Athens, were made by the school of Phidias in the 5th century BC (447 BC to 438 BC) in Pentelic marble. The sculptural sets that were part of the temple were: the two East and West pediments, which showed the birth of Athena in the East pediment and the dispute with Poseidon in the western pediment; the metopes, located below the pediments, reliefs with scenes of fighting against centaurs and Amazons; and the friezes, bas-reliefs that surrounded the perimeter of the inner temple or cella of the Parthenon, in which the great procession of the Panathenaea, a festival in honor of the patron goddess of the city of Athens, the goddess Athena, was represented.
