An elegant vase inspired by many similar vases from Magna Graecia - the area in coastal south Italy where there were many Greek colonies from 8th BCE onwards (hence the name 'Great Greece').
The owl is flanked by two branches of olive, both of which were associated with Athena, goddess of wisdom and resourcefulness, and patron of the city of Athens.
