Rare Midcentury Brass Owl of Athena Sculpture
About the Item
Enigmatic and sublime bronze sculpture of owl of Athena. Traditionally a companion to the goddess of wisdom, the owl representation has been associated with knowledge and wisdom. This mid century representation in bronze of the owl of Athena references the classic renderings found in Greek temples and ruins. The stoic stance of the figure, beautifully defined in detail (carved feathering, expressive lids, patina) suit and complement the brutalist aesthetics of the mid century period. This beautiful piece will enhance your mid century, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic style. Vintage of Greek origin.
