Object Description
A late 19th century antique stained glass window panel depicting Neptune, God of water and sea, one of 3 similar we are selling depicting notable figures of Greek and Roman mythology.
This vibrant piece was previously owned by Seymour Stein – music executive and co-founder of Sire Records, who launched the careers of Madonna, Talking Heads, and the Ramones.
At the centre is a distinguishable illustration of Neptune, surrounded by shells, flowers, and other detailed patterns. It is a stunning and detailed interior feature inspired by Greek and Roman mythology.
Roman God Neptune
Neptune was the son of Ops, the earth mother, and Saturn, the prevailing sky god who ruled over the rest of the Roman pantheon. He had two brothers: Jupiter, the god of the sky and chief of the Roman gods, and Pluto, the Roman god of the dead.
Neptune was often shown carrying a trident; a three-pronged spear used for catching fish.
