Delivery: Production and delivery within 4-8 weeks
Description
The Pteryx pendant from the German Kabirski Artifact Collection holds an authentic ancient Greek seal, carved in Lapis Lazuli, depicting a winged figure in a circular frame, a motif often associated with divine guidance, protection, and cosmic order. Set in oxidized 925 silver, it is accentuated by a rough Pink Sapphire in a 9K gold frame, adding a raw contrast symbolizing energy, passion, and transformation.
The name Pteryx, derived from the Greek word for "wing," reflects themes of ascension, freedom, and divine intervention. This imagery may be linked to Nike, the goddess of victory, or to early representations of the winged solar disc, a symbol of celestial power and divine favor in Greek and Near Eastern cultures. The design resembles motifs found on Greek, Persian, and Hellenistic artifacts, where wings signified speed, enlightenment, and the connection between gods and mortals.
Signet seals like this were used in antiquity by rulers, warriors, and scholars to mark identity, offer protection, and symbolize their alignment with higher powers. This one-of-a-kind pendant preserves the ancient tradition of seal engraving, transforming a historical artifact into a wearable link to mythology, movement, and transcendence.
