This bone china mugs shows a reproduction of an ink drawing of Centaur. As part of the Greek Myth collection this is one of eight exquisite illustrations, meticulously crafted by hand using a dip pen and black Indian ink on board.
Centaurs are creatures from Greek mythology that are a hybrid of half-human and half-horse, symbolizing the conflict between human civilization and untamed, barbaric nature. They are typically depicted with the upper body, head, and arms of a human joined to the body and four legs of a horse.
