CORPORATE GIFTS

The olive tree was one of the most sacred symbols of Athens.&nbsp;

According to mythology, Athena competed with Poseidon to be the patron deity of the city offering the Athenians one gift each.&nbsp;











Athena planted an olive-tree that provided the people with food, oil and wood. Her gift was accepted as more useful and Athena became the patron of the city.

OLIVE TREE

Marble* replica of one of the oldest Greek city-state coin (the silver Aeginite stater known as the "turtle") from the island of Aegina depicting a land turtle. The turtle was the emblem of the Aeginetans, a symbol of Artemis Athena Aphaia or Britomartis, patroness of Aegina.*The marbles show natural coloration due to the inclusions of copper and their reliefs have been made only by human energy. They have been carved using traditional hand tools and polished with emery (an ancient Cycladic technique), without the intervention of electrical machines.
