In Greek religion and mythology, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. She is the virgin patroness of Athens, and the Athenians founded the Parthenon on the Acropolis of her namesake city, Athens, in her honor. This metallic bronze finished statue depicts the goddess in an action stance, in full armor, spear and shield in hand. Made of cold cast resin, it measures 9 inches tall, 10 inches long, and 4.5 inches wide. This piece is amazingly detailed, from the adornments on her armor to the feathers on the owl perched on her shoulder. It is a wonderful accent in your home or office, and makes a great gift. NOTE: The spear is packaged separately from the statue, on the outside of the Styrofoam.
