( A p p r o x. 7 \" t a l l b y 6\" w i d e )Hereis a beautiful Etruscan metal sculpture
of Athena, bearing her owl on a chariot
drawn by a fine stallion. Athena was the protector
of Athens and the Goddess of Wisdom, Courage,
and Justice. The sculpture is enameled metal and has a turquoise
hue to the metal to give the appearance of great antiquity.Frederic Weinberg had done a number of these type of Etruscan
sculptures for wall art and even put them into lamp designs
and other furnishings. They were very avant garde statements
and fit in with a late fifties Grecian revival when myths
and legends of Ancient Greece inspired mid century designers.Beautiful condition. Some slight wear to the enamel. A classic visual statement for the mid century minded interior!
