Leonidas of Sparta - Michael Welch Original Sculptures.

After watching the film 'The 300 Spartans' I wanted to make a sculpture of King Leonidas who with a tiny force held the mighty Persian army at bay at Thermopylae. Although he and his small force were all killed, their deaths gave the Greeks time to defeat the Persians and win the war.

Overall size 11ins inc. base.
