An opulent hand-cut gathering of textures and shapes, the fluttering movement in this statement pair adds an extra layer of drama as it plays with light. For a Greek or an Etruscan, ram’s-head jewelry may have been an exotic magical amulet, a talisman of protection, one that symbolized the power or knowledge of Egypt, the Punic world, or the Near East. Hand-hammered brass with sterling silver posts. Nickel and lead free.

5” [13 cm] long.
