Ancient Athena Owl Coin Necklace | Bronze

Ancient Athena's Owl Coin Necklace. A lovely replica of an ancient Greek coin. In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of war, wisdom, strength, crafts, justice and skill. In Homeric poetry, Athena's most common epithet translates to "bright-eyed" or "with gleaming eyes," much like an owl. Many scholars argue that Athena is the owl herself - she is wisdom.

The charm measures 20x19mm, excluding jumprings. Comes with bronze charm on Gold filled chain. This bronze is a high-quality Italian alloy of copper and tin that contains an anti-tarnish compound which delays, but does not eliminate, eventual oxidation.
