Xenos Pendant with Authentic Greco-Bactrian Lapis Lazuli Seal in 925 Silver & Rough Tsavorite Garnet in 9K Gold

The Xenos pendant from the German Kabirski Artifact Collection features an authentic ancient seal, carved in Lapis Lazuli, depicting a robed traveler or warrior carrying a staff and bow, surrounded by an inscription. Set in oxidized 925 silver, it is accented with a rough Tsavorite Garnet in a 9K gold frame, adding a natural, raw contrast.

The name Xenos, meaning "wanderer" or "foreigner" in Greek, reflects the movement of people, ideas, and cultures across ancient civilizations. This seal likely originates from the Hellenistic or Central Asian world, possibly Greco-Bactrian or Scythian influence, where Greek and Persian traditions merged following the conquests of Alexander the Great. The figure’s attire and posture resemble those of nomadic warriors, traders, or emissaries navigating the Silk Road and frontier regions of the ancient world.

Signet seals like this were used for authentication, identity, and protection, pressed into clay or wax by those who traveled between empires. This one-of-a-kind pendant preserves the legacy of ancient mobility and cultural exchange, transforming a centuries-old artifact into a wearable piece of history.
