Bust of Athena

Bust of Greek Goddess Athena.

Athena was the daughter of Zeus; Her birth is unique in that she did not have a mother.

Instead she sprang full grown and clad in armour from Zeus' forehead. She was fierce and brave in battle; however, she only took part in wars that defended the state and home from outside enemies.

As with all Famous Faces there are objects around the base. For this bust we have included symbols of the goddess - Dolphins, Dove, Roses, Scallop Shell, Wine and Grapes.

The etch around the base reads:

"GODDESS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY"
