Thanks for your help. Your explanation of the design is exatly the kind of thing I was hoping for. Is Greece often represented by a woman, like Britain by Britannia? Britannia is also often represented in similar fashion: War trophies, shield, spear and Lion. Do the eagles have a special meaning for Greece? I know of course of the double headed eagle symbol and isn't there a connection between zeus and two eagles? Anyway, as you can imagine I am very pleased that this seems to have a good chance of being Greek. It's origin was unidentified by the dealer and I made the assumption that it was (partly because I really wanted a Greek one!) Best Gene |
