The stone at its center is an authentic ancient maskette carved from pale grey limestone, part of a group of small masks associated with Mediterranean folk, devotional, and apotropaic traditions of the medieval to early modern periods. The face is broad and hollowed - two large shallow eye sockets stare outward, the mouth barely present, mineral accretions settled into every surface like centuries made tangible. A face that is almost not a face. Almost. Such maskettes were carried and worn as personal protective objects across Southern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, their power drawn from ambiguity as much as imagery.\n\nSourced from a private collection, acquired on the art market in the late 20th century.\n\nSet in 925 sterling silver plated with black ruthenium and 18K gold, with a natural pear-cut black opal - green and blue fire moving beneath a dark surface, a stone that holds entire worlds inside it.\n\nThis is a singular edition - handmade by the designer himself with no second copy in existence. For those who are drawn to the face that stares back.\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This pendant is made with an authentic ancient artifact and natural gemstones that may exhibit cracks, scratches, and color irregularities - these are not flaws, but marks of authenticity and age. Gemstone colors may appear differently depending on lighting conditions; please refer to the model photo for the most accurate representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Split --\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetal: \u003cspan\u003e925 Silver, Nickel-Free, Hypoallergenic, Safe for Sensitive Skin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGemstones: \u003cspan\u003eOpal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlating: \u003cspan\u003eBlack Ruthenium, 18K Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Split --\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth \u003cspan\u003e22 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength \u003cspan\u003e45 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight \u003cspan\u003e13.42 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERMAN KABIRSKI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51365712134422,"sku":"EC30372\/3(AGT)","price":990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/2599\/4801\/files\/ec30372-3-agt-mormo-sterling-silver-pendant-with-ancient-mediterranean-limestone-maskette-black-opal-1240992773.jpg?v=1780288056","url":"https:\/\/germankabirski.com\/products\/ec30372-3-agt-mormo-sterling-silver-pendant-with-ancient-mediterranean-limestone-maskette-black-opal","provider":"GERMAN KABIRSKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
