This is a hand-carved marble sculpture, and we call it Achilles Dying Statue or Achilles heel statue. The original Achilles statue was created in Berlin in 1884 by the famous German sculptor Ernst Herter, who specialized in statues of mythological figures. And the authenticity of this Greek Achilles sculpture was purchased by Queen Elizabeth (Sissy) and became the centerpiece of the gardens of her Achilleion palace in Corfu, Greece.
