Athena, Olympian Greek Goddess Small Statue

Athena, the Olympian goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, and handicraft, stands majestically in this statue, wearing a plumed helmet and holding a shield and spear. Her owl is perched on her shoulder, symbolizing her deep insight and keen perception. Her shield bears the terrifying visage of Medusa, a reminder of the reflective shield she gifted Perseus on his quest to slay the Gorgon. Legend says Athena was born full-grown and clothed in armor, springing from the head of Zeus. She was never swayed by passion; she was a formidable strategist who preferred a calculated approach to conflict over the chaotic fury of battle. This small sculpture depicts Athena in her classical, iconic form as protector of cities and patron of heroic endeavors. Crafted of bronze cold cast resin with colored accents. Overall: 6-1/2” tall, 2-1/4" wide, 2-3/8" deep
