Details

The ancient Romans used antefix to conceal the ends of the tiles along a roof's edge. They served both a functional and a decorative purpose, with the tiles protecting the wooden parts of the roof from the elements. 

Antefix were often made with the images of Gods, Deities or military insignia as they were intended to advertise to the world outside that this house is protected and ward off evil.

Production

This replica has been hand-made in Northumberland by Potted History, based on an original artefact. We have fired this item to a temperature of between 800 & 1000 Centigrade to emulate the same techniques the original potters would have employed nearly two thousand years ago. This process often results in variations of the surface colour and texture, as is common with the original Greek Pottery and gives each piece a unique character.
