Flying Goddess Car Mascot

An elegant “Flying Goddess” hood ornament, believed to have been produced by the Stant Manufacturing Company of Connersville, Indiana, USA. Cast in silver-toned metal and later mounted on a polished marble base, this striking piece stands 19 cm tall in total.

The design captures the streamlined aesthetic of early 20th-century motoring — a graceful female figure in flight, symbolizing speed, freedom, and elegance. These “Flying Goddess” mascots were popular among luxury automobile owners from the 1920s through the 1940s, embodying the glamour and optimism of the Art Deco era.

Stant Manufacturing, established in 1898, became renowned for its precision metalwork and later for automotive accessories, including radiator caps and ornaments. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail helped define the golden age of American motoring design.

A beautiful example of classic automotive art, this piece would make a superb display ornament or addition to any collection of motoring memorabilia.
