A hand-crafted sculpture inspired by Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare.

In mythology, Athena had a miraculous birth; stepping straight out of the head of her father Zeus, she was born fully grown and ready for battle. She was the patron of many of the best-known Greek heroes, and is the namesake of the city of Athens.

This bust is cast by hand in fine British plaster. The symbols of Athena have been crafted onto the design: dolphins, a dove, roses, a scallop shell, wine and grapes.

The inscription around the base reads ‘ATHENA: GODDESS OF COURAGE, WISDOM AND STRENGTH’.

A beautiful home ornament to inspire wisdom and bravery.
