The owl and the olive are the symbols of Athena, after her mythologic victory against Poseidon for rule of the city. The image of the owl is represented on a large number of Greek coins and ceramics. Repaired from a few pieces as seen in the photo. Measures 5.25 inches in diameter. Priced to sell! See Christie's Antiquities, New York, June 2006, no. 141. price realized approx. $2,600 USD. |
