Sculpture, Testa di Atena - 38 cm - marble powder

Sculpture depicting the face of the Greco-Roman deity Athena.
Goddess of wisdom, the arts, and war.
In this representation the deity wears the famous Kunée helmet, also known as the Helmet of Darkness, a magical headpiece in Greek mythology capable of making anyone who wears it invisible. According to myth, the helmet was forged by the Cyclopes from dog skin (kuon) and given as a gift to Hades, together with Poseidon’s trident and Zeus’s bolt, on the occasion of the war against the Titans.
In mythology the Kunée is worn by Athena in the Iliad (the famous epic traditionally attributed to Homer).
