Greek handmade owl
Price: 25.00€
In Greek mythology, a little owl (Athene noctua) traditionally represents or accompanies Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom, or Minerva, her syncretic incarnation in Roman mythology.
Because of such association, the bird - often referred to as the "owl of Athena" or the "owl of Minerva" - has been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, perspicacity and erudition throughout the Western world.
Usually, the artist is using all different kind of clay in each one artefact (white, yellow and red clay).
The temperature of the oven fire is 900-1100o C and he is using cold colours.
Sometimes he also employs copper plating, when he needs to underline additional decorative elements.
It’s all about a completely handmade work; therefore the production is limited.
Each item is absolutely unique.
They may be “look like” the ones you see in this site or in a brochure, but they are not, by any means, exactly the same.
