Bronze Greek Owl Ornament

A hand-crafted bronze ornament inspired by an ancient Greek owl.

The patinated surface of the owl contrasts beautifully against the bronze metal of the figuring. Careful detailing highlights the bird's eyes, beak and feathers.

In ancient Greece, the owl was seen to be the symbol of the Olympian goddess Athena. Due to its association with the goddess, the owl came to represent wisdom, and was featured in many artistic interpretations of Athena, including on coins from her patron city of Athens. 

This ornament will sit majestically on the mantelpiece of any art history lover.
