The Allach Goddess Athena (Check for availability and price)
Finest white glazed porcelain by the SS owned prestigious firm of 'Allach-München

come out of this porcelain house. Athena holds an olive branch in one hand
symbolising peace and a column in the other symbolising culture and civilisation.
The figurine stands on a white glazed base, which bears the Munich coat-of-arms
in relief. The reverse of the base bears the relief dedication 'TAG DER
DEUTSCHEN KUNST 1938'. Under the base is the Allach relief octagon with
the entwined green runes logo and name. The artist's name 'Prof.TH.Karner'
is also impressed to the base.
