The owl tetradrachm coin pendant features blue enamel on oxidized sterling silver, reminiscent of Athena's owl from Greek mythology. It's a museum-quality replica celebrating ancient Greek heritage. Designed by Rafael Santarosa, it draws inspiration from the ancient symbol of the goddess Athena and her beloved city of Athens, representing wisdom and knowledge. The pendant is crafted in the shape of a coin from oxidized sterling silver with a sky-blue enamel overlay, set within a silver frame.In Greek mythology, the little owl (Athene noctua) is traditionally associated with Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom, or Minerva, her equivalent in Roman mythology. This association has led to the bird being commonly known as the "owl of Athena" or the "owl of Minerva," symbols of knowledge, wisdom, perspicacity, and erudition in the Western world. The silver tetradrachm coin, often found at the Archaeological Museum in Athens, features the owl of Athena and dates back to around 480–420 BC. The inscription "ΑΘΕ" is short for ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ, meaning "of the Athenians." In everyday transactions, Athenian drachmas were referred to as glaukes (γλαῦκες, owls). This coinage began circulating in 479 BC after the Greeks defeated the Persians. Today, the owl still serves as a symbol of the city of modern Athens. Owl coin pendants made of sterling silver, oxidized, and gold-filled, represent Athena's owl necklace, a piece of Greek mythology and a testament to ancient Greece's heritage. These museum replicas embody the rustic spirit animal and serve as a symbol of wisdom. Thanks for visiting my shop.
