Doves

This hand carved statute of a sitting bird captures one of many images of Petros Marmarinos's daily life. Hundreds of dovecotes can be found scattered all over Tinos and thousands of doves fly around bringing back memories of the past and the marble dove of the Ancient Greek civilisation. The Doves made of white marble symbolise doves of innocence and peace, on Tinos, in Greece and all over the world.
