Description
The Niketes pendant, part of the German Kabirski Artifact Collection, transforms an authentic ancient Hellenistic seal into a striking piece of contemporary jewelry. Carved from deep blue Lapis Lazuli, the seal depicts a winged figure in dynamic motion, possibly a divine or mythological being, standing over creatures or forces beneath them. This historic engraving is set in oxidized 925 silver, accentuated by a fancy-cut Blue Sapphire in a 9K gold frame, enhancing the contrast between polished stone and raw material.
The name Niketes, derived from the Greek word for "victory" (Nike), aligns with the imagery of winged deities or celestial beings associated with triumph, fate, and divine intervention. The figure's posture and placement over subdued creatures suggest themes of power, ascension, and control over cosmic or earthly elements, echoing Hellenistic representations of Nike, divine messengers, or protective spirits.
Ancient seals like this were used to mark authority, identity, and protection, pressed into wax or clay to leave an imprint of power. This one-of-a-kind pendant carries the symbolism of triumph and celestial energy, blending the artistry of the ancient world with a modern interpretation of victory and resilience.
