Samarra Pendant with Authentic Near Eastern Agate Seal in 925 Silver & Raw Yellow Sapphire in 9K Gold

The Samarra pendant from the German Kabirski Artifact Collection is a bold reimagining of history through modern artistry. Featuring an authentic ancient Near Eastern seal, carved in Agate, it depicts a stylized profile of a noble or divine figure with intricate linear detailing. Set in oxidized 925 silver, the pendant is accented with a raw Yellow Sapphire in a 9K gold frame, merging the raw energy of uncut gemstones with the refinement of historical craftsmanship.

Named after Samarra, an ancient Mesopotamian city rich with artistic and cultural fusion, this piece bridges archaeological heritage with contemporary design. The engraved figure, possibly a noble, priest, or celestial being, reflects the Near Eastern tradition of portrait seals, used as symbols of identity and status. By incorporating this centuries-old artifact into a wearable form, the design challenges the notion of relics as static museum pieces, instead offering them a new existence as personal adornments.

Seals like this were once stamped into clay, marking power and protection, but here, they take on a modern sculptural identity, blending history with avant-garde aesthetics. This singular edition pendant transforms an ancient symbol into a wearable piece of contemporary art, where the past is not just preserved but reinterpreted.
