These striking and rare vintage cabochons from the 1940s depict the Roman Warrior woman Athena, goddess of war. The glass cabochons have a black background and gold leaf covered head, and I've set them in vintage brass beaded edge settings. Antique brass ear wires are secure as well as lead and nickle-free.

In Greek religion, Athena is the city protectress of Athens, goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, identified by the Romans with Minerva. In Greek mythology, Athena was believed to have been born from the forehead of her father Zeus. Athena became the goddess of crafts and skilled peacetime pursuits in general. She was particularly known as the patroness of spinning and weaving.

Measures 1 3/4" from the top of the ear wire, 1/2" at the widest point.
