Greek Statue Chariot with Goddess Athena and Owl from brass 10cm x 11cm

Since ancient times, the owl has been associated with wisdom. The ancient Greeks considered it the symbol of Athena. Indicative of the cult of the ancient Greeks for this bird is the reference of the Aleanderian lexicographer Hesychius, according to which, before the naval battle of Salamis began, an owl had flown as a harbinger of the victory of the Greeks . The Greek chariots were two-wheeled, light, but of solid construction and were usually drawn by two horses, sometimes by three. Each chariot was ridden by two men, the warrior and the charioteer. In the first period "Epetis", the chariot warrior, carried heavy armor, a helmet, a long spear (echos) and a sword. Eunuchs could also carry weaponry, regardless of whether they were able to use it. They brought a helmet and a thick woolen tunic, who provided them with rudimentary protection from enemy projectiles. The warrior did not carry a shield. His armor was so strong and gave him almost complete protection that it made the use of a shield unnecessary.Handmade brass sculpture, quality guaranteed.Traditionally made using the metal casting method and museum-like oxidation.The products are handmade and it takes 5-7 days for their production.
