Greek Coffee Mug

The image on the mug is a depiction in the style of ancient Greek red-figure pottery, featuring three draped figures and an owl, a known symbol of the goddess Athena.The artwork mimics the red-figure technique, a popular style in Athens from around 520 BC, where figures appear in the natural red-orange color of the clay against a painted black background.

The owl is prominently featured, an emblem of the city of Athens and associated with Athena, the goddess of wisdom, good sense, and strategic judgment. The owl’s frontal stare, unusual for animals in Greek vase painting, was a common motif on Athenian coins, lending authority to scenes it appeared in.
