Decorate your home with an Ancient Greek ceramic Basket ,painted and decorated with Geometric Art.In the middle of the basket is an Owl.The owl was the symbol of the Athena, goddess of intelligence, resourcefulness and strategy. She was also the protectress of the city of Athens, to which she gave her name and the gift of the olive tree. On these skyphoi, the owl is shown perched amidst olive leaves. Because the owl is so frequently painted on ancient skyphoi, the shape of the skyphos has become known as a 'glaux' - the ancient Greek word for owl. In Homer, the Athena was often given the epithet 'glaukopis' - the 'owl-eyed' goddess.
Geometric art is a phase of Greek art, characterized largely by geometric motifs in vase painting, that flourished towards the end of the Greek dark ages, circa 900 BC – 700 BC. Its center was in Athens and from there the style spread among the trading cities of the Aegean. The vases had various uses or purposes within Greek society, including, but not limited to, funerary vases and symposium vases.In this Kylix we can see a ship in the middle.
