Description
The Ormuzd pendant, part of the German Kabirski Artifact Collection, is a contemporary expression of an ancient legacy. Featuring an authentic Persian seal, carved from deep blue Lapis Lazuli, it depicts a regal or divine figure in profile, crowned with an elaborate ridged headdress. This historic engraving is encased in oxidized 925 silver, with a raw Blue Sapphire in a 9K gold frame, enhancing the pendant’s raw, unrefined beauty.
The intricate headpiece and finely incised features align with portrait styles seen in Achaemenid, Parthian, and early Sassanian art (circa 5th century BCE – 3rd century CE), where rulers and deities were represented with ornate crowns symbolizing their divine connection and supreme authority. The choice of Lapis Lazuli, a gemstone historically linked to Persian and Mesopotamian royalty, further suggests that this seal was once a marker of power, identity, or religious significance.
The name Ormuzd references Ahura Mazda, the central deity of Zoroastrianism, associated with wisdom, light, and universal balance. In ancient times, signet seals served as personal emblems of influence and protection, pressed into wax or clay to authenticate documents and establish presence.
This one-of-a-kind pendant gives new form to a piece of Persian antiquity, transforming a relic of royal and spiritual heritage into a modern artifact that carries its story forward in a wearable form.
