<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4543568, member: 110226&quot;]The profile eye pi-style owls are a fascinating group to collect, and relative to the archaic style eye, offer better value. If you&#039;re patient you should be able to locate a nice example at a lower price compared to a mass production owl.</p><p><br /></p><p>The archaic eye does appear a bit buggy-eye since it is the full eye, normally viewed from the front, is located on the side of the head instead and its missing the pupil as well.&nbsp; However, this is how the archaic eye is depicted in art, especially from the 5th century and back, as you can see from this photo, the Apollo of Veii, c. 510-500 BC:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/6a/1c/0b6a1c679cee0756c5a86ddeabb45d0d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Athens continued to produce her coinage using the archaic eye well past the point when other mints, notably in Sicily, were producing coins with the profile eye in the middle of the 5th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
