Wild Goose Studios, Ireland - Athena’s Owl Statuette, Wild Goose Studio, Kinsale Co.Cork, Ireland

This item is Hand Crafted, made from ceramic resin composite to be relatively light weight and strong, and coated with pure Bronze, an original design by Studio co-founder Kathleen Smyth.

The owl is a symbol of wisdom and calm and the bottom label (this is now unreadable) explains that the owl, is a sign of the bright-eyed Athena, who 'knew' at a glance, & was goddess of wisdom, learning."

Athena, the Greek Goddess of wisdom and inspiration, was known as bright-eyed and became strongly associated with the owl. In turn, owls are still popularly considered to be wise and in possession of calm, clear sight.

7.5cm by 7.5cm

The bottom label is now unreadable but over all its in lovely condition.

This would look lovely as part of a shelving display or as a paperweight.


*Please check the images closely before your purchase, these will show the true beauty as well as any flaws, after all these are vintage items which have been previously loved.

*I use ugly packing :o)..... If I can re-use it I will, therefore if you want this as a gift please let me know, and I will gift wrap it instead.

Thanks for looking
