Comment

To celebrate its tenth anniversary, the Acropolis Museum has produced a special, time limited series of products featuring the crane in flight, inspired by a rare softly colored depiction of the bird seen on the cornice of the first Parthenon (570 BC). For the ancient Greeks the crane symbolized intelligence, astuteness and good fortune.
