Elegant bronze bowl inspired by the 'Mosaic of the Doves' in the Capitoline Museum in Rome.

The mosaic, attributed to Sosos, depicts a bird bath, and dates to the 2nd century BC.

The three doves are all different, and are detachable, so they can face in any direction.

The finials of the three feet of the bowl are in the shape of a serpent head, symbol of health and healing.

The interior of the bowl is delicately decorated with recurring patterns.

The dove was, in Greek mythology, the bird of love, sacred to Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.

Doves were said to draw her celestial chariot, and her seven daughters, the Pleiades are known as the 'flock of doves'.
The bird was also sacred to Demeter, goddess of the fertility of the earth.

There is also reference to the dove with an olive branch, representing Eirene, the Greek goddess of peace and harmony.

With raw material silver, bronze, copper and aluminum, we create works of art and make museum copies, with absolute respect for the detail and aesthetics of the original. Inspired by the timeless Greek art, we support and promote the cultural heritage and tradition of our country.

The combination of experience, well-trained craftsmen, selected raw materials, strict control in production and careful packaging, characterize the company's products for their consistently high quality.

The has been cast using the traditional 'lost wax' method.

As nothing is mass-produced, there will inevitably be slight variations in patination and colouring.

Each piece is, therefore, unique.

Hand made in Greece. Professional packing. We take extra care in safely packing our fragile items to ensure safe delivery.

As the bowl is made of bronze, it would be fine outdoors: the bronze would simply continue to patinate naturally.

It is, however, primarily intended as an interior accessory or home accent.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor areas. Drying cleaning with a paper towel.
