Many famous poets and writers such as Virgil, Sophocles, and Plato were associated with the bee. A common story was that infants whose lips were touched by bees would become great speakers, poets, storytellers, and philosophers. Thus, bees were often called "birds of the muses". Created from copper sheet, it is then hand painted with special enamels and fired in a kiln to create the beautiful glass-like finish. Moveable wings 3 1/2" X 2 1/4"
