Description
The Magos pendant from the German Kabirski Artifact Collection presents a unique intersection of ancient symbolism and modern design. At its center is an authentic Hellenistic-era seal, intricately carved into Lapis Lazuli, portraying a mystical figure with a distinctive headdress or braided hairstyle, accompanied by an inscription in an ancient script. Encased in oxidized 925 silver, the piece is accented by a raw Yellow Sapphire in a 9K gold setting, offering a natural, unrefined contrast to the finely carved portrait.
The name Magos—meaning "wise one" or "seer" in ancient Greek—evokes the mystical and intellectual traditions of the Hellenistic world, where philosophers, astrologers, and spiritual figures were revered. The stylized headpiece suggests that this may represent a priest, a scholar, or a figure of esoteric knowledge, possibly influenced by Persian and Greek cultural exchange during the Hellenistic period (circa 4th–2nd century BCE).
Seals like this were not only used as personal identifiers in trade and governance but also served spiritual or protective functions, worn as amulets or pressed into clay to invoke divine favor. This one-of-a-kind pendant reinvents a historical artifact as wearable art, carrying with it the intellectual and mystical heritage of the ancient Mediterranean world.
