Greek owl
(Edition - unique)
On the east and west sides of the devicei, images of owl are cut out of stone. The images are sketchy and remind drawing of a child. This is the way owl was depicted on reverse side of an antique coin named drachma. These coins served as means of monetary circulation not only in Hellas but also on in all counties of classical antiquity including Mesopotamia and India. Owl is a symbol of the city of Athens. The goddess Athena wearing a fighting helmet was stamped on one side of a coin and an owl, on the other. The name of the goddess is written in Greek letters. The Greek chasers were excellent artists; however they did not consider a lettering to be worth their attention. On some of the drachmas we can see that letter "A" is turned head over heels, and the letter "е" is drawn sideways. This errors prevented nobody from either honoring the goggess Athena, or from considering drachma as a good means of monetary. Here, I have reproduced here the error.
