Μενταγιόν Θεά Αθηνά – Ασήμι 925
Θεά Αθηνά και Κουκουβάγια – Αθηναϊκό ασημένιο τετράδραχμο.
Κατασκευασμένο από ασήμι 925.
Αυτό το νόμισμα ανήκει στα λεγόμενα «αθηναϊκά νομίσματα νέου στυλ» που κόπηκαν μεταξύ 166 και 64 π.Χ. και θεωρείται ένα από τα πιο δημοφιλή αρχαία ελληνικά νομίσματα που απεικονίζουν το πορτρέτο της Θεάς Αθηνάς. Η Αθηνά σχετίζεται με τη σοφία, τη χειροτεχνία και τον πόλεμο. Η Αθηνά θεωρούνταν προστάτιδα διαφόρων πόλεων σε όλη την Ελλάδα, αλλά ιδιαίτερα της Αθήνας, η οποία πήρε το όνομά της από εκείνη. Συνήθως εμφανίζεται στην τέχνη φορώντας κράνος και κρατώντας ένα δόρυ. Τα κύρια σύμβολά της περιλαμβάνουν κουκουβάγιες, ελιές και φίδια. Οι ναοί της βρίσκονταν στην οχυρωμένη Ακρόπολη στο κεντρικό τμήμα της πόλης. Ο Παρθενώνας στην Ακρόπολη της Αθήνας είναι αφιερωμένος σε αυτήν, μαζί με πολλούς άλλους ναούς και μνημεία. Το κύριο πανηγύρι της στην Αθήνα ήταν τα Παναθήναια, τα οποία γιορτάζονταν το καλοκαίρι και ήταν το σημαντικότερο πανηγύρι του αθηναϊκού ημερολογίου. Στο κλασικό Ολύμπιο πάνθεον, η Αθηνά θεωρούνταν η αγαπημένη κόρη του Δία. Η κουκουβάγια συνοδεύει παραδοσιακά την Αθηνά. Λόγω αυτής της συσχέτισης, η κουκουβάγια έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί ως σύμβολο γνώσης και σοφίας. Οι επιγραφές περιέχουν την «εθνική» ονομασία της πόλης («ΑΘΕ», δηλαδή «των Αθηναίων»).

Olive Leaf Hinge Bracelet – 925 Sterling Silver
The olive wreath also known as kotinos was the prize for the winner at the ancient Olympic Games. It was an olive branch, of the wild- olive tree that grew at Olympia,intertwined to form a circle or a horse-shoe. According to Pausanias it was introduced by Heracles as a prize for the running race winner to honour his father Zeus. In the ancient Olympic Games there were no gold, silver, or bronze medals. There was only one winner per event, crowned with an olive wreath made of wild-olive leaves from a sacred tree near the temple of Zeus at Olympia. Olive wreaths were given out during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens in honor of the ancient tradition, because the games were being held in Greece.
