GREECE – Brush

PLACE REPRESENTED: Greece

ITEM: Brush

NOTES: An ornate clothes brush and holder designed to hang of a wall. Now this is something a little different. Clearly it’s Greek or perhaps specifcally a souvenir of Athens as there is the relief of the parthenon on the brush. The figure at the top is in traditonal clothing and has a gold 5-arched crown on his hat. I’m not sure what occupation he is. i would havbe thought a soldier but their traditonal hats are usually red. The Monarchy of Greece was the government in which a hereditary monarch was the sovereign of the Kingdom of Greece from 1832 to 1924 and 1935 to 1973. This souvenir seems t be from the 1950s or 1960s.
