Vintage 8 inch Handmade Greek 24K Gold Plate - Achilles Bandaging Patroclus

See photo for condition. Minor wear no chips or cracks. Two holes in back for hanging.
Stunning vintage decorative plate handmade in Greece, featuring a beautiful 24K gold design on a glossy black background. The central scene depicts the tender moment from Homer’s Iliad: Achilles (labeled ΑΧΙΛΛΕΥΣ) carefully bandaging the wound of his beloved companion Patroclus. This iconic image is inspired by the famous ancient Attic red-figure kylix by the Sosias Painter (ca. 500 BCE), symbolizing their profound bond during the Trojan War.
Framed with classic Greek motifs including a meander (Greek key) border and outer decorative patterns, this mid-20th century tourist/art piece evokes the elegance of ancient Greek pottery while using luxurious gold accents. Typically marked “Hand Made in Greece” and “24K Gold” on the back (wire hanger often included for wall display).
In excellent vintage condition with vibrant gold detailing and no major flaws visible. Approximately 8 inches in diameter.,
