This is a lovely and extremely lifelike bronze sculpture of a pair of owls from the last quarter of the 20th century.
The owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of learning, Athena and is even depicted on some Greco-Roman currency as a symbol of status, intelligence and of course, wealth.
The piece is set on an attractive 'rosso antico' marble base.
Bearing the replica signature of 'Milo.'
This high quality bronze is a hot cast recast of an original produced using the 'lost wax' otherwise known as cire perdue process.
